Wilderness camping and gun safety
When camping as the lone camper with miles of wilderness around, do you feel safer with a loaded firearm handy? Or is having the magazine ready to slide in a better option? Thank you for any thoughts....

I like revolvers. In remote country you want a caliber large enough to knock stuff down. Gun safety is important no matter where you are. People now seem to like to wave muzzles around. Don't do it.
Semi-autos are all the rage, but people forget about the round in the chamber when they remove clips. Many calibers are too puny. I like .44 mag for the back country.
Wilderness means no roads. You can't drive to it. That means walking, boats or horseback. Carry a revolver in a holster with a strap to keep it in place. Make sure the trigger is not exposed. Carry a revolver on an empty chamber. Smart people often have two empty chambers.
