My doctor said he and a friend were receiving the required Ranger briefing before going backpacking in Yellowstone. The Ranger began to tell tham about how to protect themselves from Bears. They said they weren't afraid because they had a 45 caliber handgun. The Ranger asked to see their handgun. They asked why. He said "I want file off the sight" "Why" they asked. He replied "So it doesn't hurt when the bear jams the gun up you behind"

Actually a 22 cal or 25 cal is best for bears. You can concel it from the rest of your group and pull it out if the bear charges. You then shoot the person right next to you right behind the knee and then run like hell. The bear will normally eat the slowest person in the group.

. They said they weren't afraid because they had a 45 caliber handgun.

Since when are firearms legal in a national park? Color me sceptical about this story.
