Good comment. I have a weapons permit and carry a gun most of the time in the field. It should be used only to protect life and as a last resort. You buy insurance to protect property.

I say this only so you know I'm comfortable with guns. I can see carrying a gun if you fear for your personal safety.... bear, moose, hillbillys.....but if the point is to protect your "stuff" I don't agree. Pulling a gun MIGHT get someone to stop in the act of burglarizing your vehicle, which would save you the hassle of dealing with the police. But it might not stop them. They might have a gun themselves.....you might have to shoot them, or you might get shot. Those are hassles I can live without......I'll and take my chances with the insurance company and the police. > > > > >
