people who work the Border Patrol in the Campo area, I can say this is not 
HIGHLY unusual.  I was informed that about 10 groups of hikers and several 
motorists a year are robbed in this area every year.  I hate to do it, but I might 
be carrying my small off-duty revolver when I thru hike the trail in 2005.  >>

Nah not me. I don't want to be like my sister: She carrys a gun with her no 
matter where she goes, "just in case"
   The last thing on my mind is that someone might rob me when I leave the 
house. It honestly just never is a concern. I figure the odds of being hit by a 
car or getting injured on the job or even winning the lottery are 
astronomically higher
 But if YOU  want to be paranoid and always living in fear like my sister in 
, be my guest!
