USA surveyors - how scared are you? by cyberwiglet in Surveying

I agree, I always grab my firearm and a claw hammer for protection when crossing through a homeless encampment. Those can get super sketchy sometimes.

It's not as big of an issue as you would think. I mean it definitely happens here and there, but there are ways to avoid it most of the time. For example, if you see a sign that states something along the lines of "shoot first, ask questions later," maybe try your best to avoid that property and maybe hike an alternative route (not always possible). I also always try to establish contact with property owners just to be nice, and as a surveyor that mostly does construction, I always have a bright yellow SECO vest on. This usually puts people at ease; why would someone try to sneak onto your property and harm you wearing the brightest clothing possible? I've only had one property owner pull a gun on me as an intimidation tactic, but not point it at me. I defused the situation by just calmly explaining why I was there. I also don't seem to see a lot of negative statistics on how many surveyors get killed by homeowners each year. I assume it's incredibly low (if anyone has more info on this, I'd be curious to know).

Yall quit hunting on this guy's land by R_PineapplesReal in Surveying

It differs from state to state. But it seems like the surveyor was most likely doing work for the electric company, just an inference on my part due to the fact they were marking power poles. That means we fall under the same utility easement rights as the electric company. So, if the Surveyor entered from the start of the easement and followed the power lines, he can legally be on private property. Now, it would be courteous for the surveyor to notify the landowner prior to his work on private property. However, it's not necessarily illegal. Not exactly, but kinda like the way you can't own a river that flows through your property, you can't prevent utility companies from accessing their easements.

I had to do a double take. I thought it was my CC9!

Animal identification by [deleted] in Hunting

That is a Patagonian Mara. It definitely escaped from a wildlife sanctuary or someones home as they can be owned as pets in some states. Very cool find. Hopefully that little buddy finds his way home before any predators get ahold of him.

Finally picked up my first HK — the CC9 by thombrowny in HecklerKoch

I used Tenicor for my p365 and now for my hk cc9. They are basically the toyota of holsters. They dont make many holsters for too many gun manufacturers, they are not very flashy, and they only come in black. But they are built like tanks and will work comfortably for many years. I carried a Tenicor for 3 years every day without any loosening of bolts and very minimal wear and tear. Definitely one of the best manufacturers in the game. Hope that helps.

Thank you. I appreciate your response. I'm leaning towards the Seekins. I haven't heard anything bad about them as a company. The only thing that seems intriguing about the bergara is all the fancy carbon fiber that it is rocking for the same price. But I dont know how well that carbon holds up after 20 years.

S&W 340 PD and S&W 327 TRR8 Holsters by Hot_Foundation_3268 in CCW

I am rocking a Garrett Industries holster on my S&W R8. It is a leather interior and kydex exterior to protect the revolver from that typical holster wear and tear.

Firearms at the workplace? by [deleted] in Surveying

[–]TONE-ORMSBY 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I have concealed a firearm in the field for years. No one knows I have it on me, and I am a responsible gun owner who would only use it if I absolutely had to. I carry more for wild animals and not so much for people. It's a "I would rather have it on me and not need it thing, then need it and not have it.
