RE: camp gun
Camp Guns....... Hmmm
** In my sleeping bag at the main camp, Ruger Redhawk in 44 mag - Stainless; whether the zipper on the bag is stuckor not I'm ready.
** In the kitchen of our wall tent, Ithaca Riot Gun loaded with slugs.
** In reserve for hunting, as a back up rifle for elk, 30-06 min, preferrably a .338WinMag and up.
When out hunting or in spike camp, I do NOT carry a side arm.If I was concerned, then I'd carry bear pepper spray for night time outings and around spike camp as the 44 loses the weight, bulk, inconvenience trade off.
