    Is he on your private property or on public land you are adjacent to? Tell him private property or do nothing, respectively.

        Sit back and marvel at the rarely seen true American, properly equipped backpacker.

            Remote but populated areas often have a different outlook on firearms than more populated areas do. If you feel threatened than contact the authorities. Otherwise let him be.

              I agree, if he is just hiking by, minding his own biz, like others have mentioned, MYOB, also depends on the area... if in Alaska, you see that a lot.... remote areas, would not surprise me, I would be doing it.....

              Remember this, if you are out anywhere in the woods mountains,etc and there are animals larger than a coyote(coyote packs can be pretty brave also), 'you' are part of the 'great wheel of life' meaning you are part of food chain. Also, you do have to worry about running into 2 legged critters more nowadays....

                Remote, where? Like Alaska remote? Middle of Nevada remote? Or CA Central Valley, in between farms, remote?

                How up to date and accurate is this website? Would this info apply?

                  We are talking California remote here, or someplace you could be that would be considered remote/rural but populated. He's just on the road, not on private property.

                    In CA? Call the police and wrap yourself in protective bubblewrap. In "Free America"? Wave and walk by with your own holstered (and loaded) sidearm.

                      If he's not acting in a threatening manner I see no problem. I might let him know that he could land in trouble, I might not, depends on the circumstances and other factors.

                        If he is just walking, not trespassing and minding his own business not bothering anyone, I would simply ignore it.

                          I really don't see a threat here.

                            Offer him a ride. And a beer.

                            Sounds like a hunter coming back from a long stalk. It's huntin season right?



                            ----edit----
                            I had to head out for awhile..... so yeah... it's been a while since my first response.....

                            But it occurred to me that your poll is flawed. I didnt vote on it anyway... and it wouldnt be a choice I picked... but you need to be realistic and you left it out.....

                            where is the "get your panties all in a wad and franticly call 911 while swerving/evasive maneuvering your vehicle all over the road and both shoulders, screaming 'someone should *do something*!!!!'"
