I also don't want to give the impression that I think people shouldn't carry while hiking. I think that that's acceptable if you know what you're doing, and a lot of people on /out/ don't realize that posters here come from vastly different parts of the world, some places it's retarded to go out without a firearm. Unfortunately for me I live in a place where it's retarded and illegal to go out with one. So I get stuck with bear spray.
I'm ok with that though, because I can admit that I'm not a great shot, and the weight difference also matters to me. It might not matter to other people though.
lol, didn't read?:
take one if you want. if you dont want to, don't take one. don't bitch at people who like things you don't like, and if you decide to go out armed, please know what the fuck you're doing.
