Whoever wrote that is obviously an anti-gun, ill-informed individual. 5-10 pounds for a handgun??? WOW, not too smart. You would be crazy to walk that trail without some reasonable means of protection. But even with a firearm, the most important thing is AWARENESS, always be aware of your surroundings, never, NEVER let your guard down thats where most people screw up armed or unarmed. Also make sure you practice with that firearm, it is really not useful without proper training. So always know what is going on around you, don't get in a sticky situation, if something doesn't seem right, it probably isn't. Never let an individual approach you that looks like there up to no good, keep a distance. With that said, don't become a statistic or a sheep like most of society today, carry a gun and protect yourself, its YOUR responsibility to protect yourself. Have fun but be safe, an armed society is a polite society. I never go anywhere without a means of protection, even if its to my mailbox, I always have a weapon on me. It's only human to want to protect yourself. enough rambling, have fun out there and don't let the bad guys get you!
