Bringing for protection though right? I’ve never camped but will be doing a lot of camping with the family and I just feel there is a need to make sure I’m covered in case I come across any trouble but I could be wrong here, not sureDepends, if just out and about bring the .45 if hunting and such well the 12 gauge with slugs and or 30-06. But ALWAYS the 1911.
I have some training under my belt and go shooting at least once a month but not entirely sure what the gun laws are here in CA or if it at all needed to bring a gun. Guess it depends on where I plan to camp. Some spots in SoCal by the border might be more dangerous (drug smugglers, illegals, meth labs) but other more populated campgrounds could be safe enough to not bring a gun. Wondering what you all thinkOkay, if you own a firearm and are proficient, then yes.
But don't just go buy a firearm and never take classes and never go to the range and then expect that firearm to automatically save your life.
That bear doesn't care that you're pointing a firearm at it and is not going to be intimidated.
Also, if you're worried about bear and cougar, get a BIG caliber, 9mm ain't gonna cut it.
Nice, yeah my 1911 is a kimber, really like it. Hay a1911 is tried and true and easy maintenance lol old school is the shiz lolHA! Just kidding. Here’s mine. Rides with me all the time.
