It's just that things in general seem to be more violent now than 30 years ago. I'm thinking more about the types of situations that can occur if you break down on the side of the road late, or as someone else mentioned, if you go camping. I've always been self-reliant when travelling, and even today, I don't carry a cellphone.




I spent about 8 months travelling all over the US by bike in 2003-04 - never felt that I needed a gun of any kind. ( except when I went hunting with Moe & his brother but thats a whole other story )
