Re: Defining moments - what made you decide to carry?

Used to do a lot of traveling/camping/etc.
I was often times out in the middle of nowhere.
Had a particularly hairy incident during a campout one long ago night.
A friend, his girl, My girl and I were camping out at Canyon Lake.
We are sitting around the camp just kicking back when this HUGE drunk/stoned guy walks into our space. Unknown to us he had been watching the girls from the distance and decided he was going to come into camp and "get some". I was inside the tent so he didn't see me I guess. My friend was off to the side. The big guy just saw the women and headed on in. I walked out when I heard a strange voice. The girls were terrified! This guy was really scary. I was dwarfed by this guy. He was at least 6'6" tall and 250+pounds. I'm 5'5" and 140lb.
When he saw me, he got angry. He picked up a piece of firewood and threatened me. Friend was coming in from behind the guy with a shovel.
He saw friend and moved back still holding the club and making noises about "teaching us city boys a thing or two".
After a few tense moments he turned and walked off cursing at us.
To this day I believe if it weren't for the fact that two of us men were there it would of been a lot worse the girls.
Ever since that incident I carried.
