Travelling with a shotgun?
I amd riving around the country in a couple days by myself and I will be camping in a lot of remote areas with lots of bears mountain lions etc… Should I have any trouble driving across the country with a shotgun in the back of my truck for protection when I camp? When I am driving it will be in a case in the back, ammo will be seperate etc… Can anyone think of any problems I may run into? I am going frm NY out to the west and every state in between. I will probably take it hiking with me in certain areas (like montana and other states with large game).
I was attacked by a bear when I was 17 so It’s a huge piece of mind sitting around a fire at night knowing I have some sort of protection.
The only problem I see is when entering a major liberal city that has gun ban laws. Other than that, a long gun for personal protection or hunting can be carried on your back walking down the road.
When encountered with a life threatening situation such as a bear, first, if possible fire a warning shot. If the bear is still coming after you, kill it! That simple my friend, forget preservation of animal laws, we were given domain over all on this planet, and sometimes we have to protect our lives over wildlife.
