First let me say that I am anti firearms for so many reasons. Yes I can shoot and shoot very well. I can pick you off before you see me and from distances that would amaze. Would this help me if some guy hid behind a tree and blew me away to get my truck when I was making supper? Not at all. If you are carrying a gun you better have it with you 24/7/365 and have someone watching your back at all times because if someone wants your stuff they will get it if you have a gun or not!!! Why attack you when you are in the vehicle close to a weapon wait till you step outside and are not close to your gun then attack!
There is being careful and prepared (not meaning carrying a gun)and there is paranoid. If you are paranoid stay home so the rest of us do not have to worry about you accidentally shooting us because enough people are accidentally shot each year.
Being prepared means following your gut feelings, keeping valuables out of site, don't flash your cash, don't look like a victim and camp where you feel safe. If you do that you do not need a gun. Add to that the fact that inside a RV there are a number of weapons (knives, fire extinguisher, bear spray, hair spray, screw drivers, etc, etc.) and you are already well armed. I see very few reports about people being attacked inside an RV, I see a lot more about people being attacked walking down what was thought to be a safe street close to their homes.

I can tell you I feel a lot less safe after reading this thread. I have been camping regularly since 1980. I have never had one time where something was stolen or anyone gave me any reason to be alarmed. I am frankly shocked by the amount of paranoid posters. Where the heck are you boondocking /camping, Watts, the S side of Chicago??? If you absolutely have to have a gun to feel safe take a hunting weapon. And make sure you train yourself how to use it. Or better go to the hardware store and buy some hornet spray or bear spray. There are also all kinds of web sites that will sell you tasers, mace, clubs, brass knuckles, knives and so on.
It is not a little thing to loose a loved one to a handgun. My oldest daughter was murdered with one. But that was in her home in the city and not out camping. The dangerous places are where there are lots of people not in the wilderness.

My wife and I have never boondocked before, nor have we ever spent the night in a Walmart parking lot. We have always stayed in campgrounds or RV parks where we know we will be safe. We our considering taking a cross country trip next year and was wondering just how safe it is to boondock in case we stumble onto a remote area that we would like to spend some time at. Do you folks out there carry a handgun with you when you boondock for protection and security reasons if and when you feel threatened? I would like some feedback on this before we head out.
