I'm sure most carry but also a good ball bat and wasp spray in a holder next to the door is probably good enough... A Police scanner in the background is also a big deterrent...
My trailer is equipped with a good working motion detector lights on both front and back. I can also turn ON/OFF the awning from a pocket remote thumper. In the five years or so I have never run into any dangerous situations. We have been checked my local police a couple of times in a Walmart parking lot haha...
We have always arranged things for quick get away if camping back in secluded places. Some folks have dogs with them which is great first alarm device...
Just use good common sense and be aware of your surroundings is the best approach to camping off to your self somewhere...
Also be aware that 99 percent of others campers around you are your best friends... We all look out for each other pretty good... If we are way back in the woods we always checkin with the other campers in the area that might be around us - nice to have someone watch your back so it seems...

Be careful about the "ball bat" in some locals that is concidered a deadly weapon if you don't have balls with you. I am being serious here.
