I am an avid backpacker, have been for nearly 30 years and YES I carry a gun. I have met some great people on the trail, but also my share of freaks. I was searching for more information about my Dads .44 mag and ran across this topic board.

It starts out good, with a bang, literally; but digresses as the rainbow coalition shows up. There is a quote from one of these guys that makes me furious, "If you carry a gun backpacking, you are a hunter." Or, "if you carry a gun, you intend to kill something or someone". It simply amazes me at the mentality of some folks... As you read on it goes back and forth, but truely the "Hippies" dominates this topic with their fluff... Thought I would share my thoughts on the subject, I am very bored at work tonight. :wink:
No offense to any of gun packin hippy brethren...
I also made this a poll, so Jester or a moderator; would you please move this topic to the Poll section... Thanks
