Bear attack

quote:

"I put the scope sideways into the bear's mouth, keeping it away, and it swatted at the scope and severed it," he said.

While I respect the man's courage in protecting his family...

Why the hell did he willingly go into bear country unarmed? Good God people are stupid.

Might be taking a family vacation up there in a few months. Guess who will be using his CC permit to the fricking fullest. God damn 9mm hollow point better get the job done. Headshot...

That shouldn't hurt that bad when the bear shoves it up your arse.

15+1. Ha

Nodust, I know, but that's what I have and putting one through an eyeball should be sufficient. If not, I'll shove the gun up my own arse for him.

They have open carry in Alaska and if so is it for residents only?

If you're driving up there, how are you gonna get your handgun into and out of Canada? If you're flying up there, that's another can of worms...

If 9mm is your only option, I would go with FMJ. Their skull plates are super thick.

A lot of guys suggest 357 magnum as a MINIMUM for bear. So if you're gonna only have a 9mm, get some really hot FMJ ammo.

EDIT: and yes open carry is legal. Alaska is actually 1 of 3 "Constitutional Carry" states, in which you don't need a CC permit to carry concealed.

While not optimal, better than a telescope

Just polish all sharp edges with a dremmel tool.
If it's a Glock, that's gonna hurt.
