I am a colonist in the 1700s embarking on some travel, maybe to another city to make a sale, or maybe to visit family. Would I typically carry any type of weapon or gun with me? I imagine a musket and traditional fire-arm is too large and cumbersome for any use outside war, is this the case?

The stereotypical caveman is usually depicted in a desert or savannah environment. Were the environments of the world in 5000-3000BCE generally similar to their modern environments? For example, would Romania in 4000BCE have a similar environment to today?
