[pct-l] Carrying weapons

[Sir Mixalot]

Let's do this first...

Have you done a longish hike, say 3-5 days at 20 miles a day with a thru
hiking load plus that gun and felt great at the end of the hike?  No
blisters, no soreness, no injuries.  If that's the case, it might be worth
expanding the discussion.  If that's not the case, you'll quickly be asking
yourself if that gun is worth the agony of carrying it.
