firearm question

Will begin traveling this summer, finally retired, and healthy!!
This is a GENERAL question.....
I prefer to travel weapon free, but feel it wise to ask the experienced rv'ers and campers......have you ever had a situation when traveling that caused you to need or potentially need your weapon to protect yourself?? Some yes or no, might help us with this decision.
  • I have not (and I pray it stays that way) but I went thru the training and jumped thru the hoops to get a CCW so my weapon goes with me. In fact, when I leave home, ALL my weapons come with me because if my home was burglarized while away Calif. would not let me replace them with the same ones.
  • 76 years of camping/RV'ing and I have never been in a situation where I wished I had a weapon at hand other than a can of bear spray for potential furry four-legged threats.
  • I have not; but since you husband is a lifelong trucker he has spent 100's times more hours on the road than I have. What are his experiences?
