As we all know, there are quite a bit of whack jobs out and about these days. Open carry and concealed carry of modern firearms is a hassle when it comes to state by state laws, and for someone planning to walk across the country, starting at cape Flattery in Washington, to west quoddy head in Maine. How would you go about ensuring your own safety? I'm thinking open carry a black powder revolver in a leg holster western style for the trails, where the prying eyes of civilization can't save you., and when we near a town simply tuck it into my pack There's also bear spray for "bears", but that doesn't quite give the same effect to a would-be scoundrel as a six shooter on the leg. For any spoopy stuff like skinwalkers/interdimensional bigfoot/etc a silver knife would probably be fine. Any suggestions? thanks
