What if I identify as a lion or tiger? What then?

Are you from Detroit?

Rowrrrrrr
Tigers have been stinking it up, lately.
“Identify yourself by talking calmly so the bear knows you are a human and not a prey animal,” says the NPS site.
Let’s have that NPS Ranger try that with a 1,500 pound grisly bear and see how that turns out. Of course he could always fall back on his 3 oz bear spray canister.
.357 Magnum or .44 Magnum would work pretty well.......
Beware of ‘Gladly’ the cross-eyed bear.
Is a 125 hollow point effective for bears?
That used to be Indiana’s State Police issued handgun ammunition in the revolver era.
What calibre??? Depends on the “punch” it has...
125 grain 9MM would be sufficient for a black bear, but that’s about it for bears...9mm isn’t revolver ammo though...
Had a small black bear on my deck a couple weeks ago. I was sitting on the couch watching the Army 250th parade on TV. I looked out the deck door and saw a bear looking at me through the glass door about 3 feet from where I was sitting. Not thinking I banged on the door then opened it and ran after him. He went to the opposite end of the deck, climbed up on the railing. I grabbed a piece of firewood by the fireplace and took off after him. Luckily he climbed down fast and I threw the firewood at him but missed.
Luckily... being for me. Wife just looked at me and said that was stupid. I agreed but said it worked.
We see bears 3 or 4 times a week around the yard but on my deck only twice. We weren’t here the first time but saw the prints and nose prints on the door. I put a double electric fence up around the deck rails which are 12’ off the ground. That apparently didn’t work so now I have anti climb spike strips.
Shxt happens as they say but another story.. no beer involved either 😳
“.357 Magnum or .44 Magnum would work pretty well.......”
I’m good with that.
Not hollow points. Full lead for penetration. Look up bear load.
This is from Japan. Looks like the sort of thing they would do.
I’d suggest a hard cast Keith (semi-wad cutter) bullet of 158 grains.
Sorry.
357
