Just curious how many carry a firearm, and your main reason. Protection? Hunting? Fun?
 
Yes, always. I carry a gun every day regardless of where I'm at. The woods is no exception. Protection, 2 legged predators.
 
Nope, or very rarely. This poll should have a "no because I choose not to" option too!

Anyway, it's generally not my thing, but I don't begrudge those who chooses to carry, so long as it is done responsibly.

All the best,

Whenever it is legal, I'm armed. I prefer to have both a handgun on my side and a rifle with me but that is not always possible.
 
Very rarely. Too bulky to drag around, unless I specifically want to go shooting.
 
When and where legal, yes, I do. I like the feeling of having protection from any kind of danger, whether it be 2 or 4 legged.
 
I only usually carry when hunting or planning on doing some plinking. Suppose if it was easier to carry get a handgun around here (legally anyway) I'd pack a revolver with me but I feel pretty safe in general because if someone attacked me and managed to best me they'd have to deal with my wife.

Yea I used to have a gun I took into the woods until I lost it in a boating accident.
 
I have one on me always, city or woods. Safety is always my own responsibility. Two legged problems are my only real concern.
 
always ,,,4 legged im not reaaly worried about ,,its the 2 legged creatures that worry me,,
 
Whenever legal, I carry a firearm for protection. There have been many times that I didn't have a gun and wished I had one. However, I can't recall a time when I had a gun and wished I didn't have it.

Always, when in the woods. Always in the truck, and most of the time when out and about.
 
Yes, I always have a legal CCW with me in the woods wherever it's not prohibited. You're on your own out there. Back in civilization, I carry whenever it seems advisable to do so. I feel that it's my responsibility to protect myself and my family.
 
I don't have my legal permit yet, but plan to get one. I don't think I will carry often, but in the deep woods-absolutely.
 
I very often have guns with me in the bush, but only for fun. I don't worry much about defending myself, to be honest. Most of the places I go, odds of seeing another person at all are slim...some places I've seen more bears than people. And I don't really worry about bears.

But it's very common for me to be hauling a gun around, that's for sure!
 
Several things,
-If it's not legal I don't go there. The pinko's can kiss my a--, so I want spend time or money around there little commy utopia.
-Always carry. For varmits 2 or 4 legged.
-Signal if injuried, etc.
