amazing how fools think you never need a gun till the pooh hits the fan. i have read of many cases of attacks in and around parks and forests, they were either mudered by a freak that is not right in the head or mangled by a wild animal or injured by a rabid animal. i would never walk in a alaska park with out a handgun, if you were attacked the locals would say they deserved it if they were not armed.  you  would never find me unarmed in a forest, i would have something to defend my self.  only an idiot would think that you would never need a weapon to protect your family. only a liberal/democrat (Obama Communist) would say gun control.
