[pct-l] Gun on the PCT

[Austin Williams]

Yeah, and if you paint it black, maybe the bears and lions will *think* it's
a real gun, and so they won't mess with you.
Works in the ghetto... might work in the back country.

Besides, everyone knows that cats don't like to get sprayed with water.

ps.  I'm totally kidding around.  I don't care if you bring a gun to the
back country as long as you have had safety training and know how to handle
a gun safely.  And so long as you don't go shooting in places you aren't
supposed to.

... and for christ's sake use a holster.  Remember that guy who was carrying
his pistol in his pocket last year and ended up shooting himself in the
butt?  srsly people.
