Gun question

My answer is a little different. We carry a rifle in the truck when we go anywhere near the river now. As for need something in an emergency in the woods I don't carry a gun. Even pistols are just something else to hang on the brush in the thick stuff. IF I was gonna carry one of those 22 magnums that you can hide in your palm. I think they hold 5 maybe six shots. In an emergency in the brush, if you haven't gotten him with those chances are you are already had. I carry hand cuffs for my emergencies. Like a dummy, I took 2 pups and a green green bulldog (by myself) on a nature walk a day after I had a plate and screws put in my left arm. As luck would have it they bayed a big hog about 230 with those needle point 2'' teeth. It was HOT summer time in a dry creek bed where we caught him. I had him wiby the back leg with my good arm but couldn't through him. We wrestled for a while. My young bulldog was getting to the point of wore out and the hog was way past mad. I couldn't stick him with my bad arm or turn loose with the good one. I wound up dropping my knife and we stomped it into the sand in the creek bed so far I couldn't find it. I remembered I had my hand cuffs so I finally got him against the bank and pushed him against it with my shoulder long enough to let go.of the back leg and reach under and cuff the opposite front and pulled towards me to roll him. Then I used my knee like you would on a calf to bring his back leg forward and pulled the front back with my good arm and snapped the cuff on the hind. Then I took a dog lead from around my neck and snapped to the cuffs and ran it up over a big root high in the bank and back down to itself. Then I dug my knife up and stuck him with my good arm. Without those cuffs, I would've been in a bad way real quick because I was spent and he was mad mad with no where to go and nobody else to take it out on.
