Empty handgun?
They went for a fight hunting bears, and they got it.
I guess the picture with the bear is from an earlier kill. the boy looks about 8 in that one.
Dang, fairly nasty facial laceration.
Just about zero information about how the boy stopped the attack. Did he kill the bear instantly? Did he frighten it off? What gun did he use?
Great writing.
350 Legend....?
Just me, but I’d go 35 Whelen.
If it’s a straight-walled thing, 45-70 all day, baby.
Not NEW. Saw this story before.
I have never actually seen a .350 Legend bullet but have looked at the ballistics.
I knew it was a straight wall case, which somewhat limits the velocity but here is the performance with 150-180 gr bullets.

The ammo:
Head to Head: 350 Legend vs. .35 Remington

I did not know that the .350 Legend bullets were .357 diameter.
Why did they use Weapons of War against such a cute and cuddly animal? (don’t laugh, this is the mindset of the people running this country - their only use for weapons of war is to attack countries that don’t adhere to their ‘social values’)
Dean Weingarten just needs to go bear hunting.
