Though not a surprise to anyone who knows me. I definitely would not have a
problem with someone carrying a gun with them to a cave. Would I? Probably not

I don't think as many cavers as you think have problems with guns. I mean just

While it might conceivably be useful to carry a gun _to_ a cave entrance
(although not in my personal 40+ years experience), I cannot see any
reason at all to carry a gun _into_ a cave. Firing a gun in a cave would
risk serious personal injury due to the dangers of ricochet, not to

Hmm, this is a good chance for mentioning this. A California caver just
published a book that, yup, involves a gun in a cave. You can find it in

Back in the day, Ronnie Fieseler carried a handgun with special wax bullets
to use in cave entrances in case he encountered the odd rattlesnake.
Worked quite well as I remember. The bullets had a good bit of hitting power
yet melted on impact into harmless liquid that wouldn't ricochet
I have been caving in Arizona with cavers who carried guns while caving. It
seems that other cavers are not too friendly to cavers they find in those caves
that no one speaks of. Hopefully Texas won't get that way.
Um, actually, I have never been caving in Arizona because they have no
Well, actually I have seen a few rattlers in caves and they
occasionally rattled me a bit. Reloaders know that you can substitute
#9 shot for the single big bullet and make your own loads like
Ronnie's wax bullets. (Commercial Rat shot in a .22 rimfire doesn't

Yes, Jerry. I, too, remember Fieseler carrying a small handgun for snakes near cave entrances during a caving trip in west Texas back in the late 1980s. As best I can remember, the gun was a small revolver, probably a snub nose 38, loaded with some kind of ammo appropriate for shooting snakes at
Good morning, Texas cavers,
On February 13 we had a great turnout of properly equipped and spirited cavers
to help deliver cave diving gear to the upstream HS sump, six hours of travel
from the shaft entrance, of our state's longest cave. Thanks again to everyone

Hey David, Thanks!!
Steve is a great friend of ours and indeed, an awesome caver (as is his wife
