Comfort in having a handgun in my pocket while traveling

Hi folks,

Just a quick note from the road. I'm on day 5 of my 3-week trip up & down the Rockies in my RV. It's just me, my RV, and my Jeep tagging along behind. It's pretty much a nature photography trip, with the exception of attending my brother's wedding in Boise this weekend. I'll pick up Mom & Dad for a return to Yellowstone after 35 years, which will be a blast.

I make regular stops along the road to capture a flower, scene, or wild life that caught my eye. Going up & down the mountains with a heavy Jeep towed behind puts a strain on the RV, so I also end up stopping when I have little choice on the when & where. It vapor locks suddenly, requiring me to stop pretty much right there to cool the engine compartment enough to continue.

It's both comforting and a little alarming that many people stop to make sure everything is OK. A few times, less than reputable looking loners have stopped, but in all cases, they just were hard working farmers or welders with a scruffy appearance.

Still, comfort is knowing I have a handgun in my pocket, should I ever need it. It's become as much a part of my travels as my cameras and toothbrush. I only wish I had the option to carry at work (TTU) as well.


Thanks much for your training and wisdom!
