I always carry a J when hiking. I got that "danger" feeling once and was glad I had it with me, although I didn't have to pull it.
J frame with a couple of reloads always has been a comfort on the trail. I have been hiking the AT for longer than many folks here have been alive. Not a single time have I been unarmed.
And that ladies and gentleman is a small part of our 2nd “to keep and bear arms”
Good natured folk going about their biz is now construed by Hollywood and liberals as bad ?
Utter bs and in direct violation of our Constitution as I see it
