<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Montana bear handgun joke:<br>
<br>
Q: What's the perfect handgun to shoot a bear with?<br>
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.<br>

<div>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. </div>

<div>RIGHT gun - is one that's heavier than you want to carry. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The RIGHT place - isn't visible if you're being charged by
the bear. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>OTOH - it IS legal to carry the gun, just not advisable.
Or smart. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also - the question (Are you carrying a gun?) has probably
been asked of every thruhiker in history. Multiple times.
Deal with it. </div>
