when boondocking do you bring a weapon ?

if you want to have a shot gun, may I suggest you load it with bird shot to keep the collateral damage down to a minimum

I recommend carrying Bear spray and Wasp Spray as well as a shotgun.
The perfect choice for less than lethal necessities. PLus some parks do not allow firearms NEW YORK STATE PARKS for example and sitting outside in a boondocking situation with a shotgun can raise law enforcement eyebrows. Sitting outside with WASP SPRAY or Bear spray will not bring any untoward attention. P

Bear spray is legal even in New York for use on an animal.
A healthy squirt of Wasp Spray in somethings face will deter it from coming any further. Wasp Spray shoots a stream up to 15 feet

well wasn't really thinking of sitting outside with it ....more for at night when in bed having it close by

This is about a woman traveling alone but it should be relevant.

For many more, search 'firearm'

I do not carry. Never felt any reason to. Things may change.
