I don't feel safe here and have lived here 15 years. Can't wait to leave. I have lived in urban places that felt safer. Its beautiful here (and I will miss the natural beauty and environmentally-conscious community) but we have experienced a lot of crime and it seems to be getting worse. Not a good place to raise a family IMHO.

Sorry not to be more encouraging.

Were you referring to carrying a gun?

Because if that's what you replied about, the answer should be yes, in Redwood National Park, for anyone who has a CA concealed carry permit.

I don't think they can in the state redwood parks, but recently there was a change allowing carry in national parks.

But a few years back on that very trail,an older man was attacked by a mtn. lion a/k/a cougar. It had him by the head and neck and his wife literally beat it off with a stick. He had to be taken to the Bay Area for tx, it was that severe; so it does happen.
In the redwoods, it's more like it "did" happen ... its so rare.

So rare, its almost an anomaly in regards to adult humans being preyed upon.

Of the people I know who go in the northern CA redwood parks ... and that's a lot of them ... most hike alone more often than with others.
