I have a lib sister-in-law by marriage who camps a lot in the Adirondacks, where the bears are black, rather than brown. One year she camped in Alaska, and then mentioned some anti-gun sentiments. I told her how lucky she was.
She’s vigorous, outdoorsy, and fun to be around, but not a deep thinker. She was really excited about Hillary’s “What Happened.”
Your SIL has a charmed life for certain-never heard of anyone who went on “real” camping trips unarmed-I certainly don’t-my 1st hubby and I camped all over Texas and New Mexico-took our cub, too when she was a kid-but even in the Guadalupe Mountains we were both armed because of the black bears there...
