I am not scared of Guns. I don't believe they are evil or make people do evil things. People do bad stuff on their own. I don't believe my piece is going to protect me from wild animals. It will protect me from humans when the time comes. If you trust all humans then more power to ya. Label it paranoid if you like.....but the guns have been in the national parks for a long time, they just haven't been worn on the hip. Oh, and they've been at your rock gym, your sushi bar, your day care, your local crag and yet you're still alive.
