: Just out of curiosity, you mentioned that you went to bed with your gun under your pillow. Um. . . why would you bring a gun on a camping trip? (And what model gun was it, anyway?)
: The top ten reasons I have a gun under my pillow while camping:
: 1)The only one responsible for my personal safty is me.
: 2)Not everyone who is out camping is friendly. (I know too many stories of foul play. For example: 2 guys that were found in a cave with their hands tied behind their backs with their throats cut.)
: 3)The police do not protect individuals. They protect the community. (Any cop will tell you they cannot guarentee your personal safty)
: 4)Indy had a gun.
: 5) I don't have a false sense of security.
: 6) I am an American
: 7) The founding fathers fought hard for the constitution and provide us the second ammendment of the bill of rights.
: 8)I can :-)
: 9)It is fun.
: 10)I sleep better.
: I have a Sig Saur P226 9mm. A sweet gun. Reliable as taxes.
