I used to spend a lot more nights boondocking than I do right now. I had favorite off-road spots to sleep. A couple were probably on private property, but in spots worn flat by trucks.

On this trip I also boondocked in a quiet parking lot and off the road at an exit. Quiet and no problems either place.
I don't carry a gun when traveling (too many state lines!) but I sleep with the truck's panic button at hand. Hope that helps.
