How safe are you when boondocking

Lots of opposing viewpoints here, but the OP asked how safe are you boondocking? That question cannot be answered for the masses, only by the individual. What is safe for one, is sheer terror for another. My personal experience is 25 years ago, we (wife & 2 young sons) camped in a TT with no one else in the campground (a remote 50 miles east of San Jose). A biker gang (8 bikes) showed up at about 0100 and made about 30 minutes of our lives hell by hollering revving up their motors, general intimidation tactics. All I had was a lousy fire extinguisher which surely wouldn't have done much to deter 8 Aholes if they decided to push things. Thankfully they did not and I've never camped without a firearm since. Portions of this thread have deteriorated into citing statistics that obviously are not true with no in-depth detail, but support that person's particular position. We have a 2nd amendment right to bear arms and protect ourselves, if you choose not to do so, it's a free country, but don't you dare try to infringe on my rights to do so. Fact is, crime can and does happen anywhere, be prepared, be smart or don't whine when you become a victim.
