    Do you feel the need to have a weapon when camping

    To an extent. For practical purposes you can't take firearms into Mexico at all (especially military caliber, of which I am quite fond), and Canada is problematic so if I'm headed north or south I am certain to not carry. Does it mean I don't go more to those places? Not really, I think...

    Do you feel the need to have a weapon when camping

    Well, if they don't abide, and the police find out, they have committed a felony and will lose their kids, lose their civil rights, lose their Constitutional rights..... But I agree with you. One of the reasons I left California. And like I said about mutants threatening your family or your...

    Do you feel the need to have a weapon when camping

    And while it's not simple, getting a license (PAL) in Canada for an American is possible, just tedious. I had a funny telephone conversation after I applied, with a representative of the firearms licensing folks (in Nova Scotia?)....the application asks if I owned any prohibited firearms (in...

    So are 5 gallon buckets. More little kids drown in them then are killed by firearms.

    Do you feel the need to have a weapon when camping

    Yeah, thats the first bad study that Kellerman did. He stacked the deck there too - comparing slums in Seattle (poor, criminal elements, lack of education) with very nice neighborhoods in Vancouver. He eventually had to 'adjust' his data, at first he made some claim about 30-40 times greater...

    Do you feel the need to have a weapon when camping

    If you train to stop bears with a handgun, you can stop bears with a handgun. I used to carry (and practice every 2 weeks) with a Glock 20 in 10mm... I even took it to shooting schools to use. I could clear my holster, engage 3 different targets with 3 rounds each (and reloading) while moving...

    Do you feel the need to have a weapon when camping

    By all means, firearms should be kept out of the hands of young children. I also don't like toy guns - water pistols and the like. Some of them are quite realistic (I actually carried one as my 'sidearm' during National Guard annual training one year - rather than risk losing it) and asking an...

    Do you feel the need to have a weapon when camping

    Not really the right question, since one can't really add aftermarket airbags, afaik. How about driving a (say) 1962 CJ without seatbelts or a rollbar? I know if my family was hurt driving such a vehicle, I'd feel responsible.

    Do you feel the need to have a weapon when camping

    Here are four people (the first that popped up on google) that weren't as lucky: http://www.usatoday.com/travel/news/2009-10-28-cape-breton-hiker-death_N.htm http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=585983 http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,321107,00.html

    Do you feel the need to have a weapon when camping

    I have one for the same reasons that I have auto insurance, a fire extinguisher, and a medical kit. Far better to have them and not need them then the opposite.

    Balancing - Trailer wheel and tire

    To Ford Excursion or Not to Ford Excursion?

    The 03 could have the 7.3 diesel, which is a FINE engine, or the 6.0 which is not. I have an 02 with the 7.3 and like it quite a lot, 200K miles and never a problem (although I am pretty meticulous about maintenance)...all original major parts. In addition to the good advice already offered...

    Old school Coleman Products.. Worth IT?

    Thats it...built like a tank, parts are still available (they're mostly the same parts), available from garage sales at a pittance... Over the years I bought one new coleman stove (back in the early 1980's) and have models picked up for free to a couple of bucks going back to during WWII...
