Guns in parks
41 magnum trumps grizzly. In other news, a self defense story makes the AP.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Some of the comments on the article are hilarious …

“”Experience shows that putting firearms and grizzly bears in the same place ends up with dead grizzly bears,” said Steve Cain, senior biologist for Grand Teton National Park.”
See? Dead people MUCH better for mother gaia!

You will note that when a firearm saves a life, they still advise against their use, and they fail to mention who manufactured it.
But if a future terrorist buys a gun, then the company that made it will be mentioned almost as many times as the terrorist.

‘Bear biologist Tom Smith said he’s “absolutely concerned” about grizzlies dying unnecessarily’
But he could’nt care less about people it seems.
“Simply put, if you’re just a hiker, you’re far better off with the nonlethal deterrent like bear spray. The numbers just speak for themselves,” Smith said.’
What numbers? Where and how was that crap tested? Did Tom Smith actually stand up to a charging Grizz and spray it in the face? My money sez that he didnt! But he expects others to bet their lives on a can of pepper spray.
If tree huggers want to trust their lives to that so called “bear spray, all the power to ’em. Hell, the bears need to eat too! And pepper is great seasoning.

Yeah, I’ll stick with the big ouchy-inducing bullet instead of the Spicy Chipotle Hippie Spray-Format Marinade, thanks.

I did not make up this joke. I deserve no cred (street,trail, or other). I cut and pasted it at boyscouttrailDOTcom.
The National Park Rangers are advising hikers in Glacier National Park and other Rocky Mountain parks to be alert for bears and take extra precautions to avoid an encounter.
They advise park visitors to wear little bells on their clothes so they make noise when hiking. The bell noise allows bears to hear them coming from a distance and not be startled by a hiker accidentally sneaking up on them. This might cause a bear to charge.
Visitors should also carry a pepper spray can just in case a bear is encountered. Spraying the pepper into the air will irritate the bear’s sensitive nose and it will run away.
It is also a good idea to keep an eye out for fresh bear scat so you have an idea if bears are in the area. People should be able to recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear scat.
Black bear droppings are smaller and often contain berries, leaves, and possibly bits of fur. Grizzly bear droppings tend to contain small bells and smell of pepper.

Well, now we know what gun for Grizzly.

I wonder how of those rangers leave their firearms behind and carry only bear spray?
