Do Caching and Guns Mix?
Abacquer tells of his recent experience posting about guns in a popular geocaching forum.
I posted that I would not carry a firearm while geocaching and was asked why, so I stated my case. Then, as if by hidden signal the gun nuts crawled out of the woodwork and began launching vitriol at me. This of course, was not unexpected, and not really the point of this article. I kept hearing of the need to protect oneself from violent crime, from wild animals, etc.
It only takes about 3 posts before the fellow is called a liar in big red letters. His sin? After expressing deference and respect for differing opinions, he expressed his own opinion that it’s prudent to be honest with your companions about the lethal weapons you’re carrying.
Some cachers need to get a grip.
