My god! You people... This is the BW, the wilderness we're talking about. This place is not home for humans and civilization, this is the homes of animals who have gotten kicked out of every place we have built our homes. If we bring weapons in the BW then we are disturbing their homes. If anything those animals are protecting their family from us, unless of course we are not following the Leave no Trace policy and they have become accustom to us and no longer fear us. If you fear your saftey in the BWCAW then it is no place for you. I mean, I have gone to a certain camp for teens there and I doubt that they would bring children into the BW if there was any doubt that they would be harmed by animals. You're more likely to be shot in your home than to be killed by a animal in the BW. By the way "Grego" if you were a law abiding citizen you wouldn't have a gun in your vehical because that is illeagal. I hope you will all respect and cherish the Wilderness we have left. Thanks
