    Okay bud. If you don’t want to carry by all means no one is forcing you. But I’m going to protect my family when we camp or need to visit bear country for any reason.

        If that’s how you want to do it. Nature is dangerous sometimes. Shouldn’t let that prevent you from seeing its beauty.

          Carrying them openly at camp sites and in national or provincial parks is not.

          More people carrying guns will result in more suicide, more domestic violence murders, and more accidental homicides than it will prevent human deaths from fucking bears.

          Grow up.

            Go unarmed then. I don’t actually care what you do. But if carrying a gun gives me a last resort to save my family in bear country, I’m going to train and carry.

            If holding a gun makes you suicidal, homicidal, or if you’re worried you’ll accidentally kill someone, don’t carry or seek training.

            Do what’s responsible for you.

              That gun is still more likely to kill a loved one or a fellow innocent person than it is to save your family, but you don’t care about that because having a big boom stick still makes you feel warm and safe and like you don’t have to worry right?
