I find it very entertaining that someone who is (obviously) opposed to guns besides water and air "guns" starts a thread asking about firearms then proceeds to berate would be repliers on why you don't need a firearm and trying to convince me gun laws work and criminals will follow said laws.... fast forward to the last few pages and its turned into a pretty decent gun forum website. Love it.
Oh wait, I forgot to answer the Canadian's question; yes, I carry a firearm and so does my wife.

Why don't you just un invite the bear to your campsite? or what if you covered yourself in honey? Maybe he would just lick and not chew...
I always have either a Glock 19 or FNX-45tactical on me for EDC.
I carry a Ruger Charger 10/22 takedown, suppressed, with an AGP stock that allows it to all fold up and is very compact and will fit in almost anything. it's a perfect survival gun. Suppressed with subsonics, it's quieter than my old Crossman air rifle from when I was a kid. I can easily fit this little gun (the suppressor stores in the folding stock), 2- 25 round magazines and 1200 rounds of ammo in any of my small backpacks with my other gear. I have an old Adventure Medic zip up first aid pouch that it fits perfectly into without the scope on it.

I have a takedown and I love it. I have it set up as a squirrel gun right now, but your packable setup makes me want a supressor!I always have either a Glock 19 or FNX-45tactical on me for EDC.

Most pump shotguns have a capacity of 5-7 rounds in their tubular magazines. I expect if the OP found himself facing down a furious charging grizzly intent on ripping his face off, or got stalked by a cougar or a ravenous pack of wolves, he might quickly be singing a different tune. The level of foolish ignorance would be really amusing if I didn't know he had the vote in my country.

I have a browning takedown. It now wears a 3x9 Leupold. I love this little gun. I just wish there were as many accessories for it as there are for the rugers. I’d be happy with a padded case for it when it is in takedown mode.

So if someone steals your car and uses it in a crime, you're the one to blame and we should be coming after you as a society? Wow that sure makes sense.
As for your comment about a "50 caliber air gun," I've never seen or heard of one, but I can tell you that if such a unicorn had more muzzle energy than a .177 pellet at 500 fps, it would be classified as a firearm in Canada and subject to all the same restrictions, so I don't really see the relevance of whether the projectile is propelled by compressed air or burnt gunpowder at that point.

I carry. Everywhere. All the time. You never know when things will go sideways. My main sidearm is referred to as my American Express card ( never leave home without it.) . I have a backup weapon in my EDC bag referred to as my parachute. Both are the same make and model so I can swap magazines without fear of "Do I have the right mag for this one?"

@Autism Family Travels your “get pellet versions” comment...
Definitely the funniest thing I’ll see all day.
However, and more seriously, it is probably one of the most delusional, ignorant, misinformed and illogical statements on the internet. A close second might be when Joe Biden was telling everyone to get a shotgun.
I do suggest you seek help and sort out the internal issue you got going on.
At the end of the day it has been made very apparent this thread was created with the intention of deceiving the members of this forum into engaging in a thread for you to promote your ideology and to cause division and unrest in the OB community.
This is not ok, you should not be lashing out at others from your irrational fear. This is a clear cry for help and I hope you take this opportunity to get it.

I feel you on that. I have decided that I now totally avoid those places that have that kind of potential for a blow-up.
However, there's one saying I like to think about: "I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6". So.... stay trained, keep aware, and avoid all bad situations.

I'm with you on this. I do my best keep myself and my family out of bad situations, but if things do go sideways I have no problem with going to prison for the rest of my like if it means my wife and kids are protected from becoming victims of some violent crime.
All day every day.
This is the difference between reasonable people and unreasonable people.
Reasonable people : Own, carry, wear whatever you want.
Unreasonable people :You don't need that because I said so.

When I took my ccw class, long before firearms were mentioned, the first thing we were instructed on was situational awareness. The funny thing is, it seems like most people think everyone who carries, wants to be a bad ass. The biggest thing I have learned from years of legal carrying... conflict avoidance. There are some places where I just will not go anymore. Drunk loudmouth at the bar wants to raise a ruckus while the wife and I are having dinner - it’s time we left. Whole mess of bears around where we camp - get an electric fence. Eliminate the possibility of a bad situation. I have taken more grief from random people since I started carrying than I ever did before. Just because I don’t want the situation to escalate. I am afraid that one day there will be no choice. Somebody getting physically harmed. Someone who has no issue crossing that line and eliminating my exit strategy. That’s why I carry. That’s why I train and am ready. I don’t want to be a bad ass. I just want to be able to make sure me and everybody I care about can get home. Show me a more effective way to do it and I will consider it.
Basically 24/7. This falls under the paradigm of better to have and not need that not have and need. Not only for the various types of predator's one may encounter, but also, in many decades of camping/off-roading, I have become aware of a change in the "wilderness attitude" one may encounter. On the plus side, the deeper I press into the wilds, the more like minded I am likely to encounter. But that is me, your mileage and views may vary.
