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

Anyone keeping the tally of the "I don't carry and have never needed one" just remember- those who didn't carry and DID need one...aren't around to speak up :E
Personally, I think it is sad the effect propaganda has had on causing paranoia and fear against those who carry a gun for safety reasons.
For those who have never carried, it is 99% more likely for you to be "concerned, fearful, paranoid, etc" and for you to be obsessed with the firearm in the picture than the person who carries regularly.
For those who carry regularly, it's just like putting a pen knife in your pocket, or clipping a cell phone on your belt. Safe and responsibly habits make for safe and responsible Citizens.
It's really not a big deal. People often fear what they don't understand.
A bit less propaganda-fueled-fear and a lot more personal thought and reasoning would really help people realize that.
I also appreciate everyone's approach to this subject, courtesy in allowing room for disagreement. It really is a subject that many of us consider while camping. It's healthy to discuss it in this manner ;)
