Sensitive Issue

[Floridastorm]

Don't know if this issue has ever been addressed before. However, here goes.

In my way of thinking to be out there in the country day and night inside an RV without a means of protection from the criminal element is pure stupidity. Your RV is your home away from home and should be treated the same way as your permanent home. I know that there are a myriad of conflicting state laws including laws for concealed carry. Some states, like my state of Florida, a weapon for protection is almost required by the government. In New York, not so much.

So, what do most of you people do? Do you carry a weapon in the RV anyway and hope for the best? Do you have a concealed weapon's permit which is reciprocal in many states but not all? Do you carry a shotgun or rifle, which I believe is allowed in all states? Or, how about a high powered pellet gun which I believe is legal in all states? I would imagine that this inquiry is applicable for traveling to Canada, too. :h

You asked and people answered. We all are entitled to our own opinions...

If you are so afraid to be out in the country that you feel you need to be weaponized at all times, wouldn't you just be better off staying away?

I don't own any RV parks so I've had less exposure to any need to shoot anybody, but I have managed my 68 years on this planet in both cities any backwoods without much need of firearms. For the benefit of the gun nut crowd, do be aware I own a shotgun and a couple rifles, which are handy.for keeping gophers out of the garden or adding a rabbit to the stew, so I'm not an anti-gun nut. But I do agree that folks that scared of things are best served staying inside their gated communities. I live in the woods and manage to do ok without packing heat, thank you very much.

I feel safer in my RV than I do at home and I live in a nice area. Used to haul a shotgun around, then I decided by the time I got it out I would be a goner anyway. I don't feel good about having a gun in my rig that someone could steal. I'm an old man. I'm not going to shoot someone or more likely myself. I don't worry about needing a gun. Haven't needed one so far. I stay away from from places I don't belong in. I refuse to be paranoid about it. Otherwise I can just lock myself in my house and only go outside when I have armed security guards with me...I bet you won't find a single gunhead on this site that has ever had to draw their weapon and use it for self defense, outside of a maybe a LEO. That's all I have to say about that.

I'm always amazed at how many come here year after year and never read anything but their own question.

This discussion has been done over and over and over and over and over. And it always ends with the same thing - personal insults, hatred, extremism, and thread closure.

I usually take something to target shoot with in the RV. I don't feel unsafe when traveling or around town, so no need to carry a gun.

[RognBon]

No guns in my house; no guns in my rv.

Carry plutonium instead. No concealed permit required.
