>>369438Woah woah woah projecting a little bit arnt we. I can gurantee you that all of our armed /out/doorsmen arnt scared, were just planners. Plus there's a few stories I've read that some if you have written and tbh your all very lucky to have escaped or that it turned out fine.
Will having a gun in you gurantee your safety? No.
Will being armed increase your chances than not having one? Yes.
Is it better to have something and not need it than to need it and not have it? You can bet your life it is.
I'd like to also point out that I've never had to scare any animals away, and never fired my weapon in fear. But I still carry a gun in the woods because in my experiance you'd just be dumb not too.
