Can bush pilots carry/fly handguns?

[longrass]

I think that the people advocating the use of a handgun against something like a Croc or a buffalo should try reading some of the stories by the croc & buffalo hunters of the 1950's like Tom Cole

Ive killed crocs and buffalo with handguns mate, in fact, I have dropped a buffalo at close range with a .22 revolver. The majority, read nearly all, buffalo hunter/croc hunter, my dad and alot of his mates included, carried .357 or .44 wheel guns when traversing the top end. I have met most of the blokes in the book "The Crocodile Men".

This one shot behing the eye, in front of the ear, with a single shot out of a .45acp, dont try to tell me they are useless, they work!

How many pilots have perished in the bush because they didn't have a handgun?

I know a few pilots that are alive because they took a firearm...

If you dont want to own/carry one, then please dont...

So tell us longrass what are you really packing, because clearly your hand gun does no where near 2540fps?

In my .45 cal lineup, i currently own the following:

Norinco 1911 - Government - 45acp
Springfield 1911 - Loaded - 45acp
Springfield 1911 - Compact Custom II - 45acp
Springfield 1911 - Desert Warrior - 45acp
Glock - 21 - 45acp
Glock - 37 - 45gap
S&W - M&P - 45acp
S&W - 25 - 45 long colt
S&W - 460VXR - 45colt/454casull/460
Ruger - Vaquero - 45 long colt
Ruger - Vaquero - 45 long colt
Taurus - Raging Bull - 454 casull

Im pretty sure I have more as well, however I wont waste anymore of your time... Thats just .45 cal handguns, I have a whole stack of lever, bolt, pump and semi auto rifles as well...

I bet you could talk a croc into pissing off.
