The other day I decided to wear a pair of pants I don't like for a day of rough dirt work. No hip pockets and front pockets too shallow to conceal my pistol. So, no wallet or pistol for first time on ranch or off, since I got my CCL over 2 years ago. A friend and I were digging post holes on my property.
After a couple hours work, we took a break and drove to a different area to start a generator and pump water for the cows and put out feed. Did that then started back to work site via a different road.
Sadly, we discovered the body of an 18 year old female who had been shot elsewhere and dumped on my ranch. She was obviously dead from an apparent gun shot and I was acutely aware that I was unarmed and defenseless if the perpetrator were to show up.
Lesson learned....even on your own property a situation can arise where you might actually need your weapon!! The one time I didn't have it was the only time so far that I might truly have needed it.! Previously have always had it for numerous rattle snakes and varmints.
ALWAYS carry if you have it!!
