Rope and hang it high in a tree, but not close to your camp site.
Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

Trying to cut a deal for this awesome piece of firepower to pull behind my jeep while out camping. Is this an overkill?

In today's world I would say no it's not overkill. Fill that thing full of golf balls and make it a giant shotgun!

Thanks for clarifying. Good information. I will certainly continue to carry a firearm whenever possible.

personally...i carry a redneck while camping.... 
Just came back from 800 plus miles up the Continental divide trail (road). yes to carry. pistol and truck gun (ar 15). one night we didn't have issues with bears.. we had issues with a pack of coyotes! I used my nigh vision setting on a camera I had and used a laser on the rifle to make a precision (non-lethal) shot in the ground 2 feet in front of what seemed to be the leader of the pack.... they left. trash is an issue on long trips and we burn consumables / burn then bag cans etc.. thankfully in a full size rig you have the space to compress stuff in.
bear bells don't work in Yellowstone.. a rifle does. fyi. bear spray is ok. until it goes off in the truck which has happened twice before no matter how many safeties are on the damn can. lol

I carry concealed everyday. When I go camping I pack my 300 Blackout AR Pistol or my AK Pistol and head out to wherever I plan to explore. Doesn't matter where I go, I'm far more concerned about 2 legged predators than I am 4 legged animals.
blackout suppressed or non? I have a 11in integral that's a hoot to shoot (pistol). I'm looking at the Tavor for a truck gun.

It's a BCM upper on an Aero Precision Lower, I can shoot it either way. 95% of the time I leave the can on it. It's an 8" upper so it fits in a backpack perfectly. and If i get out to hike somewhere I'll take it with me. Weighs next to nothing.

they only bother me when they circle you and do the low stalk. or we wouldn't have put a shot out. I prefer NOT to bother wildlife and try everything NOT to kill one if it can be avoided. sometimes.. that doesn't work out.
now that comment does not include feral hogs.... those have a kill on site order around these parts. and we do. lol

Yeah last weekend I had coyotes come out the the truck while I’m The thent. If I had seen then before I went into it with my nods I probably would have shot some but oh well. After that I’m not super worried about coyotes anymore though but I do camp with my BCM suppresses 11.5 AR and it goes up into the tent at night.

Absolutely. A firearm on my side, concealed. If I don't take my AR-15 with plenty of of those pesky 30 round magazines topped off, then I typically always keep an AKM (AK47 variant, SAM7SF 7.62x39mm) with plenty of full magazines. You know, in case of tyranny, bad guys, or bears bigger than I am. God Bless America.
