119. ah, just what I've been looking for, a case in point
two women were murdered on a popular hiking trail 2 miles from my porch not long ago

Now, do we know they were not packing? And what basis do we have for believing that if they had been, they would not have been killed?

Is it wise to have a pistol in one's hand as one hikes along? If not, is there a way of telling whether the person or persons overtaking or coming toward one on a hiking trail are going to lunge, upon reaching lunging distance? Are most assailants so stupid that they stand aside and give victims time to reach for and draw and aim their firearm?

Problems happen. Tools help you solve problems.

Not if the problem sees you first.
