I suppose I can continue to have an opinion as I have done "SUMMER-[bleep]-TIME BAKCPACKING" on the AT (disclosure: all in New England so far).

That said, I will continue to carry on my trips. It doesn't bother me if you, or anyone else, chooses not to do so in order to cut down weight. I made a decision a long time ago relative to off-duty carry and I stand by it.

Out of curiosity, how often do you carry in general?
