I have often wished I had a gun with me when we hike in the mountains, just for peace of mind. My husband thinks I'm nutty for worrying about mountain lions and bears. His concern is more the 2 legged animals, while I worry about all kinds of animals.

A gun could also help with rabid raccoons and foxes. That is the more significant danger in wild areas around northern VA.

My wife and I live in the Rockies and hike almost every weekend. I carry a Glock .45 every time we go out into the "bush". It's very light, powerful and easy to operate. You guys could probably pick a used one up at a gun show for a good price.
Peace of mind, you know...
