Well, I don't know about New England but I recently went on a ski trip with some people from Texas A&M, and one of them brought along a .45 pistol. No particular reason.
(CoC) Anyone Play Yet?

.45?
You know what they say about men with big guns...
As a keeper, I've noticed people tend to bring along an arsenal even for grocery shopping when they know they're playing CoC.
Firearms might be generally available in some parts of the world and while I don't like that on a personal level, I accept the fact in a game. But still it wouldn't hurt to confront you players and ask them if they normally carry all those guns around.
On this note, I share Horatio's confusion.

Haven't played...yet
I am really psyched about playing the D20 CoC. I DM D&D now for a group of friends and for my kids and it will be a delight to drop some CoC material into the campaign.
Way back when, I played in a 1st Ed D&D campaign and our group found a copy of the Necrominicon. We used it to summon CoC nasties. The DM used the monster stats from some Dragon Magazine CoC article. My magic user (the one in the party doing the summoning of the nasties) actually went insane for awhile and had suffered from a hobbit (er...halfling) phobia...had to blast the little buggers on sight.
I do like the magic system for CoC. It will be fun for the group to figure out that anybody can cast spells from a copy of one of the books they will inevitably find.

Seems to me that taking arsenal for a camping trip, while not having met any nasties yet, does seem a bit over the top. Would make more sense if the characters brought an arsenal on the second trip after having met something nasty or weird.
They wouldn't have a problem purchasing the weapons once they found the need for them. The students should be able to afford a .45 or shotgun and a bunch of ammo if they cut out the binge drinking for a month or 2.

Here's a Texan's take-on-the-taking-a-gun-to-go-camping issue. I always take at least my .22 rifle with me. If I'm going hiking, I take my .380 pistol. Why? 'Cause there's crap out there that'll try to kill ya, from stray dogs, to coyotes (though they tend to stay away), to wild cats, to rattlesnakes, to... well, you get the picture. And it ain't just me. My other hick friends also take weapons to go camping.Eben said:
