I have never had a problem in the woods boondocking. I have had things stolen befor in a campground. Last year in bakersfeild parked at my daughters condo in a good part of town if there is such a thing there. I had someone try to open up my camper door at 1am. I yelled out and came down off the bed like flash lightning with a 9mm ready to defend myself and wife if need be. The person ran off as i could see them through the magnifier window in the door. This was my aim point and focus as I came off the bed. I would not shoot over items being stolen but if you come through or try to come through my door I will defend my home. Yes I said home In the eye of the law our campers and campgrounds are home and the self defense laws apply. Im sure some of you from the north will think im bad for carring a firearm and not a fire extinguisher or bear mace but the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun or knife is a good guy with a gun. The bottom line is camp only were you feel safe. But remember most if not all bad guys go were oppertunity is, not way out in the woods.
