And those would be..........
Wow!
Killed a Griz w a .45 ACP?!?!
9 shots...but still
Hope we get details on the autopsey!
Those hikers would have been bear poop by today! Good shooting!
Reason why a .45 has always been my caliber of choice.
What’s to investigate here? They gonna ask the squirrels for a sworn affidavit?
Anyone else see a problem with this?
A question for those Freepers who have more experience with handguns than I. Does the description of the killing of the bear sound plausable? Is it be possible to shoot a grizzly bear nine times, having it then stop charging, walk off into the bush and die? The article does not say where and how many bullets actually struck the bear, but is it possible?
I'm really surprised that a .45 ACP penetrated the skin, let alone killed the critter. If I were hiking there, I think I'd carry an S&W .50 revolver.
All of these Bear murder threads have done nothing but run on about what weapon was used, what cartridge, what load. But, what about the poor bear? When will we see justice? How long will our society tolerate these cretins who wander through the pristine wilderness slaughtering the wildlife? And for what reason, just because the bear was trying to make lunch of these interlopers? My heart cries for the soul of this poor bear. How will the struggle against Global Warming be possible if all of our furry friends are summarily executed at the whim of a pistol packing lunatic.
All of us down here at Ghetto Lofts voluntarily surrender all of our firearms when we put down our $150,000 deposit for the glorious opportunity to live here in downtown Detroit, where the oppression of a Capitalist society is on view everyday. We hold weekly candlelight vigils for those loft owners cut down by yet another display of our racist society.
I hope these people get the punishment that they deserve for hastening the extinction of our beloved Polar Bears.
