We are in Alaska and on our way to a brown bear hike, we saw one in the timber, come out to the road and meander off. We drove another 1/2 mile to hike into a valley with a stream that they had luck seeing them. Just about the time we were ready to get off the bus our guide said we would have an armed escort. About a 21 year old young lady with a stainless 12 gauge & deer slugs. I felt a lot better after that.
Oh yeah! I would feel way better with her and her 12 gauge than with ten security people with 9mms
I wonder if she is allowed to have a round in the chamber of the 12 gauge.
A lot of agencies require their employees to keep the chamber empty.
