“I wouldn’t feel good about shooting a bear with a 9mm”

It’s to shoot his wife in the knee.

Because folks like to grow pot in National Parks and very protective of their ‘farms.’

But a raped and dead woman is morally superior to one who uses a gun to defend herself.

My point is: If you aren’t properly armed, it’s best to stay out of Grizzly country. Personally, I wouldn’t want to take on a Grizzly with anything less than a 300 Weatherby Magnum, and that’s bare/bear minimum.

NPS exists because of the Original RINO: Theodore Roosevelt. He began the unConstitutional history of violating States’ Rights by usurping lands for Federal use.

NPS is nothing more than Communism In Action.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d rather have it than not. But instead of “Don’t worry Honey, I got my 9mm” it would be more like “well hopefully we won’t have any trouble but if we do I can try to scare’em off with the 9.”

I'm sure the relatives of Timothy Treadwell's girlfriend breathed a sigh of relief upon learning she would not face prosecution.

Adam Kraut is occasionally a panel member on the podcast This Week In Guns. Pretty good show.

Upgrade to a 10mm, if you don’t want to be on the menu.

Use the 3S program:
1. Shoot
2. Shovel
3. Shut up.
