[pct-l] Lightweight pistols if you decide to carry

[word-witch@mindspring.com (GINA LEACH)]

Hmmm...I think I'm a little more concerned with pistol packing hikers than
snakes. Don't want to be mistaken for something a jumpy trigger happy hiker
might want to shoot at. Bad enough worrying about gun toting citizens
walking the streets!

BTW, isn't it highly illegal to carry a weapon through a National Park?
