Not necessarily so. If you shoot a bear with the RIGHT gun in the RIGHT place, it'll be dead. And you'll probably spend at least a week trying to explain the "authorities" why you shot it. A week is a lot of hiking time to be spending on paperwork.
RIGHT gun - is one that's heavier than you want to carry.
The RIGHT place - isn't visible if you're being charged by the bear.
OTOH - it IS legal to carry the gun, just not advisable. Or smart.
Also - the question (Are you carrying a gun?) has probably been asked of every thruhiker in history. Multiple times. Deal with it.

If you shoot a bear with a gun it's going to get really pissed off.

Sad to hear about this, it is really tragic.
But especially since now I will get asked yet again by all my concerned friends and co-workers if I plan to carry a gun when I hike thru this section of the CDT (sigh)....
