If you choose to carry, do it right!!! Remember, behind every thug is an attorney.

So, you are recommending FMJ ammunition in the hope that the round will pass right through the thug and get the attorney too.

I like your thinking... ;)

CPL holder here. I camp a lot and am always carrying a concealed pistol.

Situations generally don't take minutes or hours to develop. In most cases the issue comes to a head in a matter of seconds be it a rabid animal on a trail, someone with ill intent appearing suddenly or a seemingly innocent comment being taken wrongly and tempers flaring. It is silly to assume that there will always be a means of egress from the situation. When one finds there isn't those who don't own a gun will think "I wish I had a gun" and those that own but don't carry will be thinking how stupid they are for having a gun and leaving it at home or in the truck.

Everyone has TV insurance, trailer insurance, a fire extinguisher, spare batteries for the flashlight etc. etc. etc.for use when something goes wrong. Those who eschew firearm ownership defy all the good logic of those insurances etc. they carry. I won't speculate as to the reasons behind that decision but will simply say that the decision is utterly illogical.
