General Discussion / anyone carry'n heat?
« on: March 28, 2005, 12:35:15 am »
I'm new to Adventure Cycling, but not to bicycle touring.    I have a
controversial question ....   does anyone carry "protection" while
touring unfamiliar locales in the US?    Pepper spray?   I'm thinking
about a taser "stun gun" for when I'm camping in remote areas, or
when me and my kids are cornered by a farm dog.  Its illegal in some
areas, but not in most others.

Lately I've seen pit bulls running loose in towns, and had a doberman
attack my CAR, snarling and chewing on the front bumper as I slowed
down not to hit the beast on a country farm road (I wondered what I'd
ever have done if I'd been on my bike right then)  The world is getting
more dangerous.  Is everyone riding vulnerable?
