One of many western road trips. About 40 miles deep. No big tires, no guns no worries.

Piton Ron is for real, he knows his sh#t. I suspect the rest of you should turn your weapons in before you hurt someone- most likely yourselves.
Forget the animal threat - except in dangerous territory like Alaska - it's people I would be concerned about. Fifty years ago while exploring a set of cliffs and caves in central Montana by myself I've not a shred of doubt that the brandishment of a sidearm I was wearing saved my bacon. True, I had some military training (as did the author of the quote above - probably more than me), but even if I hadn't the result would have been the same. Now I read about Mexican drug cartels operating pot fields in some national parks, including Yosemite. And, yes, if you are unlucky enough to stumble into their operation, they probably have you in their sights - but, just maybe, having a handgun might help. I know I would rather have one than not. Your choice now.

I don't know, maybe it would be good to learn a new "luanguage." You know, one where spelling is kinda free form, like they have in foreign lands where guns are melted down to make modern art. That is a real danger after all.
I mean have you heard of Obama's plan to create Obamart?! A new style based entirely on melting guns down into little statues of himself. He plans to sell these to his fellow Arabs as they are very fond of Obamaworship which they do in Obamamosques where each first receives Obamacare.
Hopefully the masterminds here on superT can stop him!

I'm pretty sure that civilian gun ownership has done nothing to keep us free.

hah, the 2nd amendment is there as a preserved relic of times past, clung on to by certain people for no other reason than their love of guns. It has nothing to do with our freedom.
Ron, good thing those civilians were there and armed, we might be speaking japanese now if they weren't!!!

blah blah blah. getting your wallet stolen has nothing to do with freedom. Also, there are ways to defend yourself without resorting to a gun. grow up scared little children.

less guns equals better to me. Scared dudes walking around with guns ready to shoot anyone who touches them, that is scary.
Are you trying to compare the 5th amendment to the 2nd, really??? come on man.

I am a confirmed gun nut, Even have a tacticle rifle with one of those big clippy things that you can't have in cali, However, many of the pro gun comments on this post sound like they come from a bunch of scaredy cat wimps who can't go out side without a big gun to make themselfs feel equal. Pathetic..... especialy that post about gun owners are compensateing for poster crap.. people that actually buy into that kind of hype are using the gun to compensate for their own inferiority complex. the gun gives them power and self worth.. scary sh#t.

If you owned them in CA prior to 2000, you're good to go. Furthermore, possession is not regulated or controlled. Only sale/lending, import into the state or manufacture. CA residents also are able to buy AR-15 style or AK-47 style rifles with some slight modifications. Calguns.net is the path of learning ;)
