I've fished most of this state and lived here my entire life. I've camped on river bars, deep in the forest, etc. In no instance have I ever felt in need of a weapon, even when encountering bears and cougars. For those of you carrying guns on rivers you are part of the problem. If you are so paranoid to feel you need to pack heat while fishing then maybe you shouldn't be out there.
