Camping Handguns

[j]

I know it's an old thread, but thought I'd chime in.

Size and weight have always been an issue for me when backpacking/camping, so my choice in the past has been a Kel-Tec p11 with 12 round magazine +1 spare. That's an amazing number of shots in a small, lightweight package.

Having moved to western Colorado now, I'm looking to try out a Ruger SP-101...more weight and fewer rounds, but I believe I'd be more comfortable (given the local fauna) with some hard-cast .357's.

My uncle camps quite a bit with my aunt. He carries a Bond Arms 410 derringer in a sort-of safepacker copy on his belt and a Walther PPK in his pocket.

We went camping the other week in NC.  Twice durring the night we were woke up by raccoons fighting very close by, and once by what we think was a coyote that ran through the camp.  Made the trip way more fun!  Having seen coons, and fox's with rabbies in the past...  Yeah, I was plenty glad I had a gun in the tent!

It probably wasnt a Coyote..... they usually wouldnt get within 200 yards unless they got rabies
