Alex Burton was prepared,and did not suffer any injuries.
Do you feel lucky, Ursa? Well, do ya?
Alex is a remarkable man.
He is approaching his 90th birthday, and is up in B.C., Canada, working on his Molybdenum claims. He said he will be back in a couple of weeks.
Canadian gun laws. BS.
You might find this interesting.
Best wishes on you adventures this September as well.

There are about 8 bears presently roaming around our place - 75 miles from NYC. The warden trapped one and took it away. He brought the trap back and it sat here a week with no luck. The trap has since been moved to a location about half a mile away. Between the two locations yesterday and female with two large yearling cubs knocked over garbage that had just been put out for Tuesday pick up. My husband has shot into the air with a 357 which didn’t do much to impress the bears and only got one to move off by shooting into a tree that the bear was standing behind.
75 Miles from NYC could be any of about 5 states. The gun laws vary from Not too Bad (PA) to Utterly Horrible (NJ).
Loved this series as a kid. Sgt Preston and Yukon King.
“He holds an Authority to Carry (ATC) and an Authority to Transport (ATT) from the Canadian government...”
How about Authority to Think About (ATTA). Authority to Look at in Store (ATLAINS), Authority to Buy (ATB), Authority to Possess (ATP), Authority to Buy Ammunition (ATBP), Authority to Continue to Possess (ATCTP) etc.?
Shove your “authority”.
“Alex admonished the bear not to disturb his sleep”
Bad bear.
The only good bear is a dead bear. That saying goes for a lot of organisms.
Was that first bear a black bear or a griz?
Shove your authority.
Lol, I’ve spent a lot of time in the Yukon Territory and British Columbia. I was quite amazed at the average “Citizen” I encountered. On a bumper sticker... .”they Love Government”.
Man, that was the coolest.
Lions eat a lot of Africans. Should they have the same policy that you have towards that animal too? Should lions be eradicated?
It is curious. You can get permission to carry where there are bears. In reality very few people are killed by bears. There are cities in Canada where it is MUCH more risky but for some reason you cant get permission to defend yourself there.
This should bring back memories of the radio show. (not sure about the TV series)

Gun laws are the “canary in the mine” for telling of government tyranny.
