Anyone read this about a man found dead on the AT. What ever happened, it rediculous. You have got to watch your back everywhere.

Personally I would have left the firearms and the 2 boxes of ammo to reduce weight. That being said hike your own hike.I hiked a little piece of the AT back in the mid 90's. There had just been a murder of two female hikers at that time. Something about a guy stalking and killing them because they were lesbians. All the more reason to go armed. I will admit I was a bit foolish to carry 2 guns and 2 boxes of ammo to go along with the 65lb of other gear. Some hikers found all my MRE's and extra clothing piled neatly on the side looking for a new home. The PA section of the AT is no picnic.
