Nope, but to those of you who do, thank you. The riff-raff don't know who does and who doesn't, so maybe they'll leave us all alone. I figure with my coordination I'd be more a danger to myself with than without a firearm.
Something like, "60% of these trailers are protected by Smith & Wesson, you guess which ones."

Dialing 911 from a cell phone from inside a locked, parked camper might be a viable alternative to packing heat.

I won't say whether I carry or not, just keep 'em guessing.

I think if I told you whether or not I carry a firearm in my RV, that would detract from any possible deterrent effect carrying a firearm in my RV may have. Therefore, I ain't tellin' ya'!

We have a Remington 840 Special Purpose for hunting in the rig at all times.

Would love to be able to use it on all the rabbits & quail here in the park!

I have to agree with the phylosophy of Ghost as to not let it be known for sure.

This is like talking about religion, isn't it?

Just the sound of a shell being racked up into the firing chamber of a shotgun should be enough to strike terror into the heart of any villain who hears that sound.

I'd think after he heard that sound there'd be much distance placed between your rig and that would be perpetrator.

Let me tell you something that happened about 20 years back.. My family (Father, mother, sister and me) were on our way to New York when we stop at a rest area for a picnic when 2 guys came over to us with nifes drawn.. I dont know what they wanted by we left everything there and ran for the truck with them walking to our car laughing.. This was a very scary thing and that Is one reason why I ask what I asked..

As an ex-US Marshal, now a commissioned Deputy Sheriff and along with my wife, a full time Police Officer, we never leave home with out 'em....so I guess that would be an "always"

In Texas there is no prohibition against owning and keeping firearms in your home. Note the word, "IN". Once you leave your home it is a whole 'nother story. Is your RV your 'home'? But those laws apply to Texas, and if you are considering srming yourslef, please check with appropriate State agency. Definitely against the law in Canada.
