Why don't I carry a gun?
Because I would be rotting in jail right now for murder.
Fished Ballston again today. Alot of atv's and snowmobiles out there on the weekends. I stuck to a spot near my in-laws house. It's way out of the way. Where do these idiots want to drive around you ask? Not only near my tip-ups, but through them. Like it's an obstacle course.
The real crazy thing is, before this happened, one guy (the father) came out to me and asked how I was doing, blah blah blah. Then asked if he minded if him and his 2 pre-teen kids drove there atv's on the lake. I told him it's fine with me, and it's a public lake. Just respect my space. It's a big lake, and I'm the only one fishing. He seemed like a very nice guy, and understood.Next thing you know his kids are doing donuts near my tip-ups and gear. The father isn't doing a thing about it. Then he came over and asked me if I thought the fish were getting spooked by all the racket. I said, yeah, probably.
He also asked me "How deep is the ice?" Deep or thick moron?
As I packed up to move somewhere else, he asked me if I needed a hand pulling my sled. To which I did not respond.
Sooo, long story short, if I carried a gun, I probably would have taken some idiot out of our gene pool for the sake of mankind.
