Just wondering if anyone carries while detecting? That is if you are licensed to do so.

Not a gun Tony but I think my serrated digging tool would do some damage if someone was to bug me.

I don't. I really don't have a need to, most of my spots are in open fields and this is a pretty safe area.
In Glock we trust.
I've traveled a long way, and many of the roads weren't paved.
I've thought about getting a CCW but I think its way too expensive to go through all of the rigamaroll, I've had times that really made me want one but it was a growling pit bull in the woods, I had my lesche ready too but the stupid owner was able to find the dog and call it off, if he had grabbed at me I would have opened his chest cavity bigtime. I can carry one open if I really need to but heck the only pistols that I own are my black powder cap and ball's. My mini 14 would be a burden to carry around My neigbor carries everywhere he goes. It's really nice too that once you get your ccw you can just go to the gun shop and buy one without anything else.
My brother carries a machete quite often when he's in the woods, heck there's probably laws against them too now.

ive got the two things on the ends of me arms that god gave me and ill use em if i need to . luckily the accent is usually enough to scare them off, and being english i think im invincible anyway.....prolly get me killed one day .
in england it would be considered rude to pull a gun on someone , its just not the done thing.
ive had the questions from groups of blokes "hey man, what do you do if someone tries to take your detector" my reply ? "im english and i like a fight"......usually enough to scare them off.
Lee, an English accent is different than an Irish one... And they love to fight. (and yes I am part of both so I can say this)
Part of the reason why I would carry a big blade....All the brush gets in the way. Makes me wonder if you bother to even mention what you are carrying to the land owner, how many would turn you away, esp a pistola. Better to have and not need, than to need and not have.
I carry all the time when not detecting, but not enough when I am detecting. I usually make the decision to carry based on the area I'm hunting, inner city ect. My weapon of choice is the Springfield XDS 45.
