Leaving your gun at home when you go fishing is "not an option"?

I was thinking the same thing, and trying to go over the possible reasons as to why it might not be an option.

Here is what I have thus far.

Poster is batshit crazy (for perhaps very valid reasons).
Poster is a blustering gun-nut.
Poster is robocop. In this case I recommend using the robocop thigh holster, lots of WD40 and scupper plugs as to avoid a rusty ass.
Poster is a LEO (although I know a few LEOs who kayak fish without their weapon).
Poster kayak fishes in either Bartertown or The Citadel, and wishes to be able to defend himself in thunderdome.
Poster does not have a safe way to store weapons at home.

What am I missing?

Wow, I could respond with a few choice words for you...but that wouldn't do any of us any good.  Let me explain it, if you can't or chose not to understand, so be it.  I could leave it at home, locked in my safe with the alarm on at my residence, but I carry for protection.  Unfortunately with budget cuts etc. law enforcement is more reactive then proactive.  Anybody that believes that there local law enforcement agency will keep them safe 24/7 is completely ignorant.  When I go fishing I typically load my gear and travel in the early hours of the morning.  This is not the safest time to be out and about and I chose to carry.  That leaves me with the issue of storing when I get to wherever I am going.  It doesn't sound like you have ever launched at any of the local launch ramps in and around the Central Valley or Foothills, because if you had you would realize that they are not the most secure locations.  Now I could be an irresponsible gun owner that leaves there firearm in their vehicle waiting for it to be stolen, but that's not something I have or will do.  Hopefully this makes since to you, the comments about bat shit crazy, not having a safe place to store weapons, etc., well there not the smartest statements I've heard today....and I did just finishing talking to a few 3rd graders.......

Dang! My fingers were crossed that you were robocop.

I fish the central valley and foothills all the time (like nearly every 3 days). One of my favorite spot is crawling with neck tattoos, scary dark skinned people etc.  Many of whom like to set up their picnic on the launch ramp.

My solution is to get out of my car, and politely ask the baddest looking guy if he can watch out for the kids playing on the ramp as I back my car to the water. Maybe I am just naive. I have rarely if ever felt threatened, nor have I ever wished I had my pistol on me.

Heck, I left my $300 paddle at the launch once. One of the aforementioned neck tattoos took my paddle, gave it to a park regular who then gave it to me the following day.

Please use the search function. There are a couple NuCanoe threads, including one just 4 threads down on this same board.

Just wondering how those of you that carry, do so while fishing out of your kayak?  Thanks

I use my sturgeon fork to rest the barrel on. It's easy to pick up and shoot at passing birds.

The best place to put a pistol when fishing from your kayak is your gun safe, at home...for a multitude of reasons.
