I have been hiking, camping<\/a>, and hunting<\/a> practically all of my life. I suppose the term \u201cspelunking\u201d might also apply to some of the caverns I\u2019ve traversed. I have usually had a firearm<\/a> with me, unless I was overseas, and generally not felt in any danger from assaults. The weather, injury, and cold are more likely to be a danger.<\/p>\n

Just the same, there have been times when I was glad to have a firearm. Beginning the research on this report, I found only a dozen or so murders along the Appalachian Trail during the past 45 years. That isn\u2019t many, but is pretty important if you are the one at risk, and there are many more trails and open areas around the country, including the Adirondacks and the Rockies.<\/p>\n

Firearms While Hiking?<\/h2>\n

There is cause for concern. As an example, one of the sick monsters I read about during my research shot two men on the trail and is now out of prison after 15 years. If that isn\u2019t motivation for you to carry a firearm, I don\u2019t know what is.<\/p>\n
