He fears a tool, and they call us fearful

When I was a major backpacker my 4" mod 19 or a 1911 was always on my hip - even when my pack started out at sometimes 70+ lbsAmong those issues is the extra weight guns add to an already heavy load hikers carry.
No more than OCing anywhere outdoors - I do this often with no cleaning issues.It's not always easy to keep the gun clean.
Uh, yea, Kum Bai Ya and all that.And open carry goes against what King called the "spirit of the trail."
What's your reaction to situation Sanchez was face with?
Seriously, asshatery at its finest.Good, stop hiking the trail!

Serious question, love to hear your real reactions.
What would you do if you were hiking/camping and a crazy dude actually came up to you and said "I'm gonna pour gas on your tent and burn you up tonight" or whatever? I take threats VERY seriously, added to the mix, thousands of horror flix I've seen.
Can't shoot him on the spot and not sure I'd want to escalate the issue to the point of violence, but I'd see SOMETHING happening if it was me. He'd be run off at the least and then I'd wonder if he'd be stalking us. My more evil side thinks I'd gag and tie him to a tree to prevent the threat from getting carried out.

Senseless.
I always carry on trail, sometimes concealed but often times open. My girlfriend and I were discussing carrying a firearm earlier this week and she asked "for cougars and bears?" My reply was "I've spent 30 years in the Pacific Northwest and the scariest things I've encountered in the wild walked on two legs"
