Overview of Appalachian Trail Gun Laws Roughly 40% of the Appalachian Trail is on land owned by the national park system.  Even if you have enough gun permits to wallpaper the Taj Mahal, you are not allowed to discharge a firearm on federal land, except for highly restricted hunting.

Some states will NOT honor carry/conceal permits granted by other states. In some states, even Superman cannot get a permit to carry a weapon. Vermont, on the other hand, allows almost anyone over 16 to carry a concealed weapon. The AT passes through fourteen separate states. 

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to the questions about who can carry what weapon where.
