Boondocking safety-Are you armed?
Looking for suggestions regarding Boondocking safety. With California RV camping spaces tough to get, I have been looking at secluded, boondocking areas and issues. Thanks

No one has said you can't have a gun. Just some folks don't see the need to carry one everywhere they go.
Unfortunately if you carry but don't carry everywhere and all the time, odds are when you need it you won't have it.
And that's the crux of the conversation. Some folks believe that they will need the gun at some point. Others don't. Until there is an actual calculation of the odds that having a gun will protect you, then it's all just supposition.
It really surprises me that they've calculated the odds of winning the lottery, being struck by lightning, and so on, but they have never calculated the odds of needing a gun to protect yourself. (Actually let me rephrase that - they've never calculated the odds that having a gun would have made a positive outcome in any situation.)
Personally, I see the odds of my needing a gun to be well below 1:1000000000. Others see it more like 1:500. Guess we'll know when we die who was right.
