I am a gun owner, and have been for many years, many of which have been spent outdoors, in various environments. I have come to realize that toting a firearm, in the vast majority of situations, is simply not worth the effort. Things like a full canteen, a decent climbing rope,or a warm sleeping bag are going to be more useful.

There are occasions where I was thankful I was armed, but those were rare, indeed. There were also times when i was glad i had a chainsaw. A gun is just a fairly specialized tool.
