  Protecting Yourself Hiking

In omnia paratus. Numquam non paratus. Yes I carry in the woods too(auto). Where I am there are no areas large enough to really get really lost for more than an hour or so. I watch the news and see shootings at schools, religoius facilities etc. Heck I carry to church. I guess most us live somewhere a bit rural but in the concrete jungle, it is often a felony to carry in the large parks when hiking and often the only predators are rabid raccoons and people. I say leave the I-pod at home. I just cannot be comfortable with things in my ears preventing me from hearing my surroundings. Mace, electric stunner, knife, some martial arts training on top of all the things previously mentioned.

You never want to show up to a gunfight with a knife. I understand New Jersey is somewhat of a police state, and it is mostly criminals that carry concealed weapons as they make it extremely diffucult for law abiding citizens to get a permit. I have heard you can get one if you are well connected.

  Protecting Yourself Hiking

I haven't seen a post saying that because they see more violence they are going to carry a gun, they just have carried and do. I carry more often than I used to but I don't play the odds. Every day when I wake up I know there are more people in this country than the day before. More good people, more bad people, so on a per capita basis, there may not be more murders, but on sheer numbers it would make sense. You hear about it, you want to be prepared. Not knowing it could be a danger is ignorance. The media brings dangers to light however small the risk. I have had homeowners insurance for all the years I have owned a home and never needed it but I wouldn't be without it knowing that there is only a 1 in a million chance my home will burn down. I can only imagine how sorry I would be if I needed a weapon to protect my family and didn't have one. You cannot turn back the hands of time.
