Speaking of that... There is a golf course here in town that is close to some bad element... my 15th Club would be an AR15... :-)
On the front 9 you can smell and hear all kinds of suspicious activity if you know what I mean... Funny thing is, someone is wanting to buy and sink millions of dollars into this course to fix it up...

I completely respect your right to carry or to not carry. Where would we be without that right. I certainly rather have the choice.
I think the point most are attempting to make is the places we once thought to be safe are no longer as safe as we would like or think. You never know when some crazy person is wanting to inflict harm on others. Golf Courses are probably considered low risk until something happens, just like Schools, Churches, or the Ball Park. Granted Schools are off limits to us but when I send my kids to School I would like to think they are safe... I do not feel that way any longer and have not for sometime. Something has to change.
Like LT's Signature.... Carry 24/7 or guess right. However, depending on ones life style its difficult to carry 24/7, and I am one of those. Good thing we do not need a license for a Firm Shaft Driver with a 420 head. : )

Not to be a Smarty but.... The Students at VT didn't goto school in a bad part of town either...Right2Carry wrote:Actually l just got finished playing 21 holes at Pecan Trails at midlotihan. I don't carry when I golf, but then again I don't feel the need to carry on a golf course. I have 14 clubs to choose from along with a driver. I also don't play golf in the bad part of town.

Wow... Those are the types of people that forget they have kids in their back seat when they leave the house for work.jimlongley wrote:I make no apologies for my opinion of golf, it's flog spelled backward, and Mark Twain, IMHO, opined that it was a good walk wasted.
That aside, be wary of carrying concealed off your body, briefcases, gym bags, and other such things lead to forgotten guns that have a tendency to get people in trouble. In my time with TSA, I found three different undeclared, improperly packed (ie not in a locked hard case), handguns in golf bags. Two were loaded, one I found on an x-ray and another I found while doing a manual search and I actually had it in my hand as I realized what it was.
All three maintained that they merely forgot that they had them there, one had actually flown up from Houston that day, and the gun had been missed on the flight up. Only one of the three had a CHL. All were at least interviewed by Dallas Police Love Field Unit, two were arrested.
So, I would heartily recommend that if you must waste your time playing golfyou fins a way to either pack on your body, or set an alarm on your computer, PDA, or cell phone, to remind yourself to disarm your galf bag.
I have gotten to the point where my handgun is like my wallet or my Hackberry... I fell naked without it... Granted I do not get to carry 24/7 but its very close if I need it.

Funny you mention this....
I play golf as much as I can... Granted its not very good golf but I like the outdoors and I have lots of golf balls to loose....
Anyway, I always carry in my bag when I am at the course. One of the courses here in town backs up to the projects. LT can tell you this part of town is not the best. I have a pocket on my bag that can fit a medium sized towel then my XD inside so its does get bumped around.
PLUS... if a golf ball is acting up I can threaten it in to straighting up!
