Safety
Hi All.. Maybe it is just me but I am getting concerned about our personal safety at camp grounds. Should a camper carry a weapon(gun)in the camper? Currently I do not. Jim2007

We travel extensively in our Class C and in a 22' TT prior to that. I never hesitate to seek out isolated CG's but I am always armed {yes I have a CCW permit, know the law and practice regularly to maintain proficiency}. Often we are camped where there is little if any cell coverage and even if you can reach the authorities they may be 45 minutes to an hour or more away.
IMHO: If you have never felt unsafe perhaps you need to pay more attention... Bad guys don't wear signs announcing their intentions... stuff happens.
I will not permit others to make life and death decisions for us. Twice {in the last 8 years}, I have had to produce a weapon and have discharged it once. In both instances without it we would have been in serious jeopardy.
Everyone needs to "know their limitations" as well as the law and be prepared for the consequences of having/not having a weapon. Serious problems are rare and fleeing is often an option... but not always.
As always.... Opinions and YMMV
