I first met Sam Hughes at a café in Hachita in 1996. Speaking of gun control over coffee, he said, “My idea of gun control is hittin’ what I aim at.”

Subject: [Cdt-l] Guns and hiking
I recently met an avid proponent of gun control while hiking a section of the cdt. That is easy to be if you are an unattractive guy with no outward signs of wealth. As a female solo hiker who grew up in the Adirondack mountains during David Garro's reign of terror, I can promise you that bears are not the reason I carry a gun.
I also frequently get asked if I carry a gun and my answer is always "of course ". I know that the people asking are only concerned for my safety.

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.

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)....

Montana bear handgun joke:
Q: What's the perfect handgun to shoot a bear with?
A: One that's greased up and sights removed. That way after you shoot
the bear, when the bear takes the gun away from you and shoves it up
your a**, it doesn't hurt so much.
