Default Buttercup Dune Campers Attacked!

This really pisses me off! Do we have to start carrying guns around to protect ourselves in the Imperial Sand Dunes? The south dunes are one of my favorite places to go for the less hectic pace @ Glamis, this is a family area then something like this happens....

Attacked and Robbed on Sunday @ the ISDRA

I was talking to Border Patrol last time I was out @ Buttercup. They did tell me that if you go riding too deep into Mexico, be careful of bandits. Wow, but this story really surprises me though.

The problem with our country though is even if your bein held up at gun point your better to just get robbed and let em get away than give em a taste of the ol 45. hell a guy would prolly goto jail for shootin the thievin bastards. WTF i dont go campin without a gun unless im with a big group and everyone else has em [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I dont live anywhere near the border, and I carry a gun in my truck EVERYWHERE I go. The main reason is for instances like this, the other is beacuse I just love to shoot. I have been known to carry a side arm on my person while riding my quad and if I lived in that area, or areas that have had instances like this in the past, I would carry one every time. Now-a-days you never know when your life is going to be in jeapordy by some fool with a gun, wouldn't it be nice to know that you have the ability to fight back with even odds? I think so. It is sad, but you've got to do what you've got to do to stay alive, and if that involves me to have to carry a gun with me, so be it.

I carry a gun at work everday. When I'm not wearing it, I'm always tugging on my hip. Hey, if you're already out in the desert, it ain't that hard to dig a hole for 'em.

This issue of illegals causing trouble like this is happening way to often[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] It's not just a border issue either. They do have big troubles in AZ and Cali though[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]
