Haha, I was just having some fun with him - I can just imagine a guy in his sleeping bag cuddling a loaded rifle not being able to sleep! That being said, I still bring a gun in the camper with me, it's my 12 gauge defender though - my rifle and scope cost me enough where they stay in their case when not trying to fill the freezer True though, can't be afraid of what's out there - just respect it!
