[pct-l] delusional gun nuts. wasFuture of PCT Hiking

[Reinhold Metzger]

Robert,
I'm against guns on the trail also but, it seems to me, the best way to let
the gun subject die is not to post a comment about it. Your comment may
encourage responses ect., ect.
You can't expect to put your two cents in and then get bend out of shape
when others respond to put in their two cents.     Good rule to follow
.....don't like a subject....don't respond to it if you don't want a
response  to your response.

And to Pygmy If you break into my house I'm going to shoot your Sorry
A- - .where I am on the trail if you threaten my life I'm going to defend
myself
with what ever means I have available, to the extent of leaving you for the
Buzzards. Guns are a defense not an offensive weapon, unless your a
criminal.

  this subject comes up again and again,and the stupidity never stops.
  Real world time!
  you may have spent time in the marines,but that don`t mean a thing when it
comes to any situation you are likley to meet on the P.C.T..
  First, marine training is combat training,unlikely on the p.c.t.Guns can
be  a defense weapon,ONLY IF YOU HAVE IT IN YOUR HAND AT ALL TIMES.
  for the vast majority of p.c.t. hikers it is a major liability,because
most hikers(i would like to belive)are not cold blooded killers,and that is
what will doom them. most people who pull guns won`t shoot,  instead  they
will try to bluff there way out,and either will get shot or get their gun
taken away from them.
