Folks in Arizona travel unarmed at their own risk!
Back in the Sixties my wife's family drove a station wagon. They visited family in New York, and were asked about the trip. She told her cousins that they only had to cirlce the station wagons twice on the trip back East. And they believed her!
And I thought I was stretching it a bit when I told how the Japanese engineers and military men that I took out shooting were always looking at the horizon, watching for hostile indians!

You need a gun here that’s for sure. Two years ago, I found a rattler which must have been on steroids in my back yard. We have mountain lions too.
“Once you leave town out here...”
Or if you even just live on the edge of town. In my folks’ backyard, I’ve seen tarantulas, five foot long snakes, bobcats, coyotes, great horned owls... and I’m only there for a week or so a year.

I lived in Arizona for a year about 3 years ago. I lived in the boonies. I concealed carried to the grocery store that was a 30 minute drive, though the middle of no where. A woman alone with an over 20 year old car...I wanted protection. I had an interesting chat with a couple of neighbors about the critters in the area and the consensus was that it was a good idea to keep your gun with you when you’re out and about. When I bought my gun in Las Vegas, I was warned it wasn’t legal in California because of something about the barrel. I don’t intend to go there so it doesn’t matter and I love the gun I picked. Got an education about the real crime rate in Las Vegas, too. So I bought a few more.
