Also, would it be accurate to say that most (or all?) Incidences for which a gun would have any value would require the gun to be more accessible than inside a pack?

Well that is just being a dumb ass for having a round in the chamber. His daddy should have taught him that FIRST

Story doesn't say what type of weapon was involved, but there's no question about what kind of idiot packs a loaded weapon in a backpack in a way that the safety can be deactivated and the trigger activated. A first-class idiot.
Idiot, meet karma.Trudgin' along the AT since 2003. Completed Sections: Springer Mountain to Clingmans Dome and Max Patch NC to Gorham NH

We were at a campground somewhere and she had her bear spray sitting on a table close to her. I asked her what she'd do if a bear started attacking me. She said she'd get her gun and shoot it. I've seen her shoot. She'd probably miss from 10' away. I told her to only use the spray or I'm a goner for sure (might be her plan all along). They she laughed, while I kept telling her I was serious..... -

Show her the research paper on how useless guns are at bear defense.

OK I'm sorry I went there! Do we even have moderators here?
So, if I hike the those last 50 miles to the northern terminus of the Long Trail, how can I get back to my starting point? Would it be safe to leave a car at 'Jouney's End' for 5 days, or should I leave it someplace in Richford Vermont? Anyone have any ideas?“Of all sad words of tongue or pen,

Just for the sake of conversation -- because after all these years I'm positive this is no longer an issue -- but when I rehiked Vermont in the 90's I was considering whether to rehike the AT or do the Long Trail instead. At the time there were multiple reports of people who left their cars at the northern terminus of the LT returning to their cars that had been burned by vandals.2,000 miler -
