|  | | | Now that I have started to go on U.E. missions again after a year and a half hiatus, I have noticed some alarming changes. I bumped into some other UEers on a few recent missions, as did a friend of mine on some other missions, and both of us noted that more and more UEers are arming themselves, especially on night missions. Personally, on night missions, I carry a nunchaku, to be used in extreme danger. But, the weapons of choice I have seen lately are pellet handguns, snub rifles, and my friend even saw a 9mm handgun. One dude even had a flaregun in a holster.
I don't really agree with firearms being brought along on UE missions. I mean, one accidental startle, and things could get messy real fast.
Has anyone else noticed this, and/or carried a weapon on a UE mission?

I haven't missed this particular debate, especially the generalizations from the left wing.
Octane, I carry when in deep rural locations, for protection from certain types of animals.
Welcome back man.
I have changed my personal exploring ethics code. From now on it will be: "Take only aimed shots, leave only hobo corpses." Copper scrappers, meth heads and homeless beware. The Jonsered cometh among you, bringing fear and dread.

I would consider carrying a small knife on night missions to bad neighborhoods, but haven't done so yet.

| | | | As close as I get to carrying a weapon is a maglight. Easy to explain when talking to the cops. Then, most of my exploration to date has been in Canada, where weapons aren't quite so common, and in more remote sites where it's rare to bump into others.

Just don't cry, alright? Heh.
Anyways.....I sometimes have my snub rifle in the truck, but I would rather not pack more than the nunchaku. Maybe a knife, but more for a tool than a weapon.

| | | | I usually have a little pocket knife on me anyway, but I'd never really go out of my way to bring something of a weapon. My flashlight could probably protect me more than a gun or a knife could.

| | | | Weapon? Nah, I wouldn't want to have to explain that to the cops if I ever got caught. Besides don't really need anything other than my 4D maglite.

Fuck that, I bring my trained rabbit with me.
This 'debate' is still as mongoloid as the 10's of other threads on exactly the same subject we have seen in the past.
Anyone who disagrees, please, by all means post your awesome location that required the use of weaponry / fire power to explore.
Please, I beg of you - go for it!

We all had ostriches. My dad had an ostrich farm! I remember one day someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success, so we all went out and celebrated… by killing an ostrich and boiling it in kiwi fruit. |

How about that abandoned WMD warehouse outside Baghdad... should have LOTS of weapons to explore that place.
