I live in Virginia, and can't carry a firearm on the trail. I noticed a sign on the trail that read "No Weapons." Pretty vague statement to make, and I was already a couple hundred yards into the hike. I'm not going to take my ASP, err... I mean retractable walking stick, back to the truck for that one.
When I am not prohibited to carry, I use a Glock 20 in the woods. I got tired of carrying large framed revolvers, and a heavily loaded 10 mm should be plenty powerful for the small bear and large humans that frequent my area. I have a concealed carry permit, and I'm a little miffed that I can't have a gun in the park.
Someone mentioned throwing stars...I don't think it's legal to have those in Virginia, either. I don't know if a bag of copperheads is considered a weapon.
