I thought (according to the "Warmists") that we were running short on polar bears.

Now there seems to be a big surplus.

Interesting article.....It is a good thing there is still a place in America where good sense still survives.

Hey Monk do you think Looter guy would show up with Polar bear

I call BS on this story, the polar bears all drowned when the ice melted.

>>Students on the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard aren’t allowed to leave their village without a shotgun and ammunition. That’s because hungry polar bears can be behind every swing on the island.<<

I bet nobody takes their milk money.

With neighbors like polar bears and the Russians, you really can’t afford to be caught off guard in our part of the world.

On the other hand, I actually think the Ruskies are rather sensible today.

They will remember this for a long time coming;

“without a shotgun and ammunition”

Tackling a polar bear with a shotgun is a good way to commit suicide. You might get very lucky, but the odds are badly against it.

Armed for first day of school

I like that title.

I always joke that I need a cattle prod when I go back to school to get people in the overcrowded hallways to move and quit loitering around and blocking traffic.

Students on the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard aren't allowed to leave their village without a shotgun and ammunition.

Shot gun!? Methinks not, 454 Caslin maybe, or maybe a hand cannon (44 Mag). A shot gun might just pi$$ the bear off...even with double ought.
