Never had anyone pull a gun on me while fishing. I have had people tell me I was on private property when I knew I wasn’t. I tell them to call the cops and we will settle it with law enforcement present. Nobody has called the cops on me yet. One or two have gotten belligerent. I shake my head and walk away at that point. Seems most won’t escalate to violence once they see you are not afraid. I would handle things differently if I saw a gun though. I know for sure I would report any incident of someone threatening me or someone else with a gun to local law enforcement as soon as possible. I don’t care how they deal with it but they need to know someone is out there threatening other people with a gun.

Here in Washington State it is legal to carry a concealed weapon while fishing. I will bring a firearm when fishing in very remote areas but not when I am fishing populated areas. Perhaps that will change as more people seem to think violence is a way to solve conflict.
