So I went on vacation...

[Tactically Fat]

And chose not to bring 1 of the guns that I was going to take (9mm PCC - because I had no way to secure it in the hotel room or the vehicle), and completely forgot the other one (Shield 1.0 9mm).

All I had with me was my J-Frame .38 Special - which is, generally speaking, the gun I carry when I don't want to carry a gun. Better than nothing, right?

On that note, if you have a chance to visit the mountains of north Georgia, do so. It's GORGEOUS.

I'm going on vacation to a water park with the family. The gun will likely stay at home or just locked in the vehicle.

It is a beautiful area. Vacationed once just north of the GA state line near Hayesville, NC. Our cabin bordered a stream with a nice hole deep enough for swimming. Caught some small stocked rainbow trout and saw a huge brookie but couldn't get it to bite.

Some of the non-IN-LTCH reciprocal states might allow a long gun. I flip flop on selling my Kel-Tec Sub2000 but it sure comes in handy when I go places that don't allow carrying a pistol.

My usual carry is 1911 in 10MM, the wife has a Colt Mustang in .380 for her pocket carry.
The funny thing is, the .380 is the only one to ever need deployed (but not fired).

I never thought of that...
Makes sense to me but I'm an old cranky guy that lives in the woods with "Too Many Guns".

An old Marine instructor used to say,
"The best 'pistol' in a gunfight is a carbine,
The best 'carbine' is a full power battle rifle..."
Since he made it though WWII, Korea & Vietnam, I'd say he might actually know!

A couple buddies have them and being able to interchange magazines with their pistols is a big deal, good idea.

Im not going to our usual Canadian spot. First, the border will still be closed a week before we leave, and no telling if it will open in time. We wouldnt find out until at least 2 weeks out. Maybe closer.

Second, after calling the state dept to check on my daughter's overdue passport renewal, I was told that due to worker shortages, her renewal is still at least 2 months out. (30+days after we need it)

(TO clarify, I couldnt actually TALK to anyone. The automated announcement stated renewals are taking 4-6 months now, possibly more and unless it was a life or death situation, hang up and wait.)

Damn.

Oh well, Guess we'll road trip a bit and do overnights at the places too far to easily day trip. Like Indiana dunes, Falls of the Ohio, Evansville LST museum, etc.

I HIGHLY suggest Mohican State Park in N Central Ohio as well as farther to the NE into Ohio - Cauyhoga National Park system south of Cleveland. Both are GORGEOUS.

I would like to get down to Stone Mountain to see that before the American Taliban blows it up.

Stone Mountain is really cool. I went to high school down in that area and spent quite a bit of time running up and down that big boulder.

 

[Cameramonkey]

It is. Grandma took me there as a kid. Wind was too high to take the cable car though.
