SOTG 871 – Outdoor Expert “Don’t Carry a Gun in the Wild”

by | July 29th, 2019 | 1 comment

Should you be armed when out in the woods or wilderness? One outdoor expert says “no”. Paul and Jarrad will examine an article published recently an outdoor website that encourages people to be purposely disarmed while alone in the wilderness.

We have a SWAT Fuel Warrior of the Week question for you. This week’s winner wants to know what is needed for a church security team. As someone who has been a professional bodyguard, Paul has some serious thoughts on the matter.

During our Quiet Time segment from SilencerShop.com, Paul and Jarrad will consider lessons and warning from the past. Where can we go to find warnings from the past? What resources are available to us in this modern age?

Thanks for being a part of SOTG! We hope you find value in the message we share. If you’ve got any questions, here are some options to contact us:

From www.OutsideOnline.com:

Earlier this month, a thru-hiker was stabbed to death on the Appalachian Trail in Virginia. After a few cursory moments of thoughts and prayers, the internet started offering suggestions that hikers arm themselves with guns.

Comments on the Outside social-media channels ranged from thoughtful to truly paranoid, but what surprised most me was how many people claimed to carry a gun on the trails in response to Wes Siler’s 2018 piece about whether or not to carry a firearm in the backcountry (he ultimately argues that nonlethal defense is a better option).

Many, it seems, fancy themselves pretty savvy gunslingers: Is that Wild Bill Hickock or Jeremy from accounting? It’s hard to tell. And that scares me far more than any grizzly bear or random hiker I’m likely to encounter. Anonymous recreationists carrying guns should scare you, too.

    I bet the guy that got stabbed to death wouldn’t think it so rare. How many diseases are rare but doctor still test for them. Why so in the rare case you have that disease they can treat it. I carry so in the rare case someone tries to do serious harm to me ,my family or anybody around me i can atleast attempt to solve the problem
