Well just wanted to introduce myself - I moved to AZ a few months ago from MO (another fairly OC-friendly state except most just get the CCW). Lived in Phoenix for a few months and finally got a job down here in Sierra Vista. I also run www.arizonacarry.org (just forums for now but trying to get a good main site up as well).

Going to hike Miller Peak tomorrow and will be OC'ing my Ruger GP100 in a drop-leg holster with about 5 HKS speedloaders in a custom leather rig...hope I don't run into any of them drug smugglers.

Evenin' peoples!

I woulld seriously reconsideryour choice of firearms to carry relative to possible encounters with smugglers. While wheelguns may appear quite traditionally 'western'... Large frame, semi-auto .45acp's are infinitantly more practical.

Might not wanna drive a motorcyle either in the event a car might hit you.

Carrying opinions vary, much like the hardware available to carry, its a personal decision, one that we all make, with the most current information available. I for one carry a variety, usually more than one, and always enjoy the parte that comes from someone denegrating my decision on what I carry.
Hopefully you will never have to use yours for any reason.
Hope the hike is pleasurable and as eventful as one would want

Well I am happy to report the hike went great.

While I appreciate the advice, notice I only said I would be open carrying the GP100. I like to have .357 available in case bears or other hungry mammals decide to show up.

I had Mr. Glock and Mr. Kel-Tec packed away nicely for the human varieties.

I came home with the same number of rounds I left with.
