Wow, a lot of opinions here, both pro and con on, "feeling safe while boondocking."
To the OP, your going to feel the safest using your head as to where and when you choose to boondock, or whether you try it or not. LIFE is about taking risks, some are reasonable and some are unreasonable. We boondock all the time and enjoy it!
Whether you choose to carry a firearm, or a baseball bat they all come with responsibilities of ownership in how and if you choose to use it. Yes, it is a personal choice to carry a firearm (and a right here in the USA)as well as a huge responsibility. If you are going to do it, please get proper training, qualify with it, practice safe handling and storing and be a responsible, legal owner.
As a side note, I am a retired homicide detective with over 26 yrs experience. I choose not to ever become a victim. You can decide if I carry or not.
It's your choice...
