View submission: Guns and protection

I also grew up hunting, and gun safety was drilled into me from a very young age. My mother also used to work as a dispatcher, so I was made aware of some realities rather young.

I live in a constitutional carry state, and I keep a firearm on me not because I feel unsafe but because I know anything can happen. I've had two instances where I had to draw my gun, though fortunately, I never had to use it. Once during a moose encounter, and again during an encounter with a strung out individual in the woods.

I just prefer to be prepared.

I've gotten trapped on a boulder while a moose was nearby. It was cool to see the moose but did not want to get too close to a territorial one
