Although I legally carry as I posted earlier, I suspect the most likely problem to come up would be a rabid animal. I lived on a farm when younger and we had rabid skunks or a dog at least once a year come out of the nearby woods and chase our dogs around. As soon as I would go outside it would charge directly for me; nice to have a 12 gauge at that time. I have never encountered a burglar or needed my weapon at home (knock on wood), but I have them handy nevertheless. As another poster said: He didn't expect a fire, but he has a fire extinguisher. We travel to places where we have not been before so have no real advance knowledge of what the surroundings are like. I camped in a new site many years ago and it looked great until dark. At dusk all of the campers left with only us remaining? Seriously. Apparently this was a cruising site and we had slow-driving cars in and around our site till about 4 AM, with lots of them getting out and standing around less than 25 yards from our camp. Didn't have a gun then, always do now.
