[at-l] trekking w gun on AT

[Carla & Dave Hicks]

FWIIW I never carry on a trek -- a.k.a. any extended hike.

The AT is a relatively safe place and the weight to danger  ratio isn't worth 
it, IMHO.

The logistics of OK for this segment vs. not OK for the next is way too much 
hassle.

OTOH, when I will primarily be in close proximity to trail-heads and when 
carry is legal....

As always, YMMV.

BTW -- Re: the weight & care question a composite & stainless .22LR w/ HPs 
would be my choice.

Exactly what fears/risks will a gun ameliorate when trekking the AT?
....
Whats the weight to risk/fear amelioration ratio for each gun option?
....
 most of them can't justify hauling
