I don’t know all the details but it would be hard to handle a long arm while carrying a 10 month old baby

I live in black bear country, puny when compared to a brown bear, 45 auto isn’t enough gun for them. You could kill a bear with the 45 but the shot would need to be so precise that a 9mm would work just as well.

10mm is my woods gun and I consider it marginal, that is a 220 grain hard cast going 1200 fps. I did carry 45 super for a while, similar ballistics to 10mm but too much risk of ammo ending up in a gun set up for 45 auto.

Handling a dead baby would be the harder of the two I would think.

What about a bat??

Would a bat work against a bear??

What about a bat to the back of the bear’s head?

What about a bullet to the back of the bear’s head?

Shouldn’t this be a hit?

Bats, knives, clubs, fists etc have been used successfully.

I like how Davy Crockett did it...knee to the jewels and bear hug!🤣

No witnesses, no video, all speculation as to cause and whether a handgun would have saved them.

Just plain STUPID not to do EVERYTHING you can to protect yourself and child in the wilderness.

Worried about tornadoes, don’t live in Kansas.

Worried about hurricanes, don’t live in Florida.

Worried about earthquakes, don’t live in California.

Worried about bears, don’t live in the Yukon.

Nuff said.

“They stun them and put sat tracker collars on them here.,,they can see exactly where they are 24/7”

So they can track them room-to-room as they rummage through your house.

Wrong question. Should be: Could it have hurt anything or made the death worse if she was armed?
