[at-l] 2nd Amndmnt Re: Coyote Attack

[Carla & Dave Hicks]

Not sure what is on-topic or off-topic for this list, as it is  Ryan's and I 
respect his rules for his list.

However, it's not much of a change as for as the law & the AT is concerned --  
as it has been legal to carry on much of the AT for years -- USFS lands, most 
of PA, much of NC/TN, VA, GA, VT, NH, etc

Not so.  Important new question for hiking the AT in the national parks.
