Boondocking safety-Are you armed?

Wyoming also is the state with the lowest population, while at the same time having a fairly large land area: Which means it's average population density is very low - which means it's people are on average further away from each other than in other states - which means it's people are less likely to be an irritant to each other than they might be in other states.

Due to the above characteristics and if one can take it's winters, Wyoming may be a great place to live in which guns are not even required "for safety".

The real trick is to reduce the U.S. gun count low enough everywhere such that irritated folks in any state can't use guns to address their irritations ... as is the case in many other countries of the world where their citizens are safe from the use of instant lethal force among themselves to settle things.

Firearms are merely a tool of opportunity! And while they can be quite effective, total abolition of firearms will do little to stop “crimes of passion”! Around 2 thousand people are killed annually in the USA by means other than firearms. If firearms ceased to exist, the murder rate, by other means, will go up dramatically.

A firearm is like any other tool...misused,it is dangerous.

Also, a person outnumbered, or a person unarmed against an armed (knife, club,rock,etc.), or an elderly person against a fit assailant, stand little to zero chance of fending off an attack. An elderly person, in limited physical condition can (and do many times per year) defend themselves against a superior threat!!!!

Depending upon ones interpretation of the Second Ammendment, firearm ownership
is to protect the citizens from the government. As much or more important today as when written. As a defense against an assailant, it is merely a persons right to defend yourself or another. If Force is used in that defense.... you must be able to prove the validity of that claim.
Wyoming.... the police are generally “many” minutes away! You must be prepared to take care of yourself.
