concealed carry and judgeing

[Dos Patos]

But Bob concealed is concealed. You wouldn't know, and didn't know when handlers were carrying

Bingo and ya never know when a nut job is gonna show up anywhere these days.

I agree too- judge the dog- but honestly, not sure why anyone needs to pack it to the line! Mine is with me when Im out airing, and in the hotel room, and the truck, but if you dont trust the dog people enough to not pack to the line- perhaps you should take to another sport! (I dont trust the snakes though FOM- if they were an issue at tests where I was too, I'd have it on me also. yuck!)

i'm just curious where in my post did i say i didn't trust dog people

i can promise you have never seen me when I was not carrying. I am not alone, I know a number of "our" group that are always armed. The old what you don't know won't hurt you, unless you hurt me...". It is a part of my daily dress and in the 25+ years that it has been so I have never had a single incident and would be no more likely to have any incident while running a dog than I would doing anything else. No big deal.
Judge the dog work and don't worry about what is in the handlers pants.

Well you are no fun....

I wouldn't get to CC happy yet in Illinois. Our state Attorney General has appealed the decision that mandates a CC law. If you own a gun in this state you're guilty until proven innocent!

no it hasn't happened to me i was just wondering and it isn't that i don't trust people. i think that people at a hunt test are safer than most people

Wow did you really just say that? Why do you think that your safer I mean really? I have carried concealed at the line several times mostly for Bear protection but I dont think it should be an issue as long as there is no safety issue.

If the op is just concerned about a nut job with a concealed gun showin up at a Hun test,,

have you considered the fact a real gun already is provided to you at the line, and if you was a nut job, all ya gotta do is "Cary" a few rounds of live ammo to slip in it , right.


God, and I get told I worry to much

I actually hope that more FT/HT start to carry concealed, especially off the grounds since the cargo that we carry is virtually priceless and somewhat irreplaceable, add to that the fact that some of the places that we train,run, and stay are remote and in many ways we are somewhat defenseless from some nefarious characters...as for carrying on the line, I will leave that up to the FTC premium or the local venue laws, to me its a non issue

lol.

Aint HRC all about having real guns at the line? I have been told that is the reason they wear camo and don't shoot live birds!

I CC when at RMRC trial grounds, but when I walk to the line I remove my side arm - I carry rat shot because the place has rattle snakes and I've had enough close encounters on those grounds not want to leave my sidearm in my vehicle. As a judge I could care less if a handler is carrying, I'm there to judge the dog work.

As Americans we should careless. Its call Concealed Carry for a reason, if its not concealed you are doing it wrong.

[Gun_Dog2002]

I don't recall any rule in HRC or AKC that prevents anyone from carrying a sidearm. Oregon is an open carry state, I fail to see how anyone can impose on my legal right to carry or try and bend hunt test rules to stop me.
