Coyote Question

They're probably more interested in your food than you. A firearm is handy to have though, I wouldn't want to encounter a rabid one without a firearm of some sort. Your nine year old should camp with you regardless of the risks IMHO.

don't know about that honestly, they are not stupid and when we camp we shoot a lot, last time we dumped about 2000 rds up there, trust me the animals don't want anything to do with that. I have been going up there for 17 years, at least 2 times a year and nothing. It makes sense they are all over out in Yosemite because there are no firearms/shooting allowed.
 
Hoopster, I agree, it's the chance of food in the camp that might draw them. I don't think they could give a crap about me. He'll be coming up with me first chance we get, it's a beautiful spot. I think it comes down to an interesting story of my sleep disturbed on a camping trip. But, I'll have my old duty weapon with me (Glock 19 w/ surefire attached), my son probably won't know about it the whole weekend.
