Thanks everyone for all the advice. I am checking this message several times through the day, as well as the one @ THR. I am getting pretty excited, but I am trying to temper that by realizing my odds aren't very great.
Still sounds like a lot of fun, no matter if we get one or not.
Fremmer,
I understand your concerns about the revolver, and I do see your point about it looking confrontational, and the weight as well. On the other hand though, I am a non-confrontational person who carries everyday anyways, and have for 3 years. Also the pistol will be concealed under my jacket most of the time.
I just remember reading all of those articles about the Chai Vang case were he chased down everyone who was unarmed, and shot them in the back. I know the odds of that happening out here are slim-none, but it still is something that concerns me a little bit. So the revolver is there to make sure that I always have something on me. One of those little things I had to do reassure my wife that I would be okay going hunting (she isn't so excited about it).
I.G.B.
