If you ever needed a firearm,..

The " Ability to Carry" debate on National Parks ramped up today with this report.

The father fought the bear off twice,.. bare-handed,.... wouldn't carrying a   "something" with 5 to 15 shots be helpful?

The Game Wardens killed this bear anyway. an 86 pound young male,...My question is,.. what if it was 186 pounds?

Than there would be TWO fatalities. This applies to the "Camping Gun" thread, "Out for the weekend, in the woods, scenario,."

I have a 13 year old son, who eats all day and still grows like a weed,..(kinda on the slim side some would say skinny),.

 I would have at least pulled out my Kershaw pocket knife, and been "goin at it" as they say,.. if it was my son, or anyone else in my direct presence.  Bottom line,. they were lucky.

Being able to carry even my P3AT with Gold-Dots, technically "legally", would be something. :o  Sure a .44 or S&W .500 would be ideal, but in my reality, just being able to carry on National Park land, (ours as Americans anyway?) would just seem right.,...

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

Man has been carrying weapons into the wilderness on rambles for eons. It is idiotic to think that we should do otherwise. The politicians' skill at overcomplicated things is tremendous. I go into the woods. There are things in the woods that can kill me. I should bring something to protect myself with. Duh!  ::)

When society attempts to limit what man can do in the wilderness, you know that we are on the threshold of enslavement. Man, it seems, has become too domesticated...

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt
