I love ol’ slab sides for self defense - but against a mountain lion I'm going to have to go with my S&W 44 mag.
Wait, what, they had to call F&G to figure out what to do??? Shoot, shutup and dig. What the he** is wrong with us? I remember an event (I think in Idaho) where a rancher did the right thing after killing a bear in his yard where the kids were playing and wound up in a whole bunch of trouble with F&G because he didn’t call first. Doing the right thing is a weird thing to do for some. What about the young lady who tried to “check” her gun in when going to the 9-11 memorial? Of course (hopefully) most of us know to check the gun laws in states we are going to or we avoid those states all together!!!!
