Last time I went backpacking. Two or three years ago. I came out of the woods onto a road at the same time and place two campers were walking. We chatted a bit and they made mention of that fact I was carrying a gun. It didn't seem to bother them, and they were much more interested in my ancient external frame pack. Apparently no longer used except by old fools like me.

They did seem to get a bit nervous when after the conversation, the noticed the second gun I had on me.

Even NYC folks should know what a NY reload is :-)
