Do you carry a pistol for bear when elk hunting???

[Rzrbck918]

I carry cocaine. Apparently, they cant get enough of the stuff.

"But a rifle has 2,800 ft lbs of energy" Yeah it doesn't matter if you only have 1 opportunity to put a round on target vs a handful of rounds.

And your accuracy with an unsighted rifle will be much better than an unsighted pistol.

This thread is funny.

For sure. But a scoped hunting rifle isn't the move for a close quarters quick shot...

Based on the logic of this thread it seems the AR 15 is the best bear defense weapon. It’s a rifle, but also has a pistol grip so could be fired like a pistol. Has 30 rds rather than 1 or 15, and 1200 ft lbs of energy. Much more than a 10 mm. Spray and pray boys!.

What are your guys expert thoughts on black guns?

Give me a break.

Break granted.

There have been quite a few examples where neither work

Only if it has a bump stock.

Guy got attacked in NW Wyoming today. Didn't have a pistol or rifle and couldn't deploy his spray, but he lived!

There we go, no one needs anything. Case closed!

lets settle this. we'll all meet up and have bear attack simulations. everyone gets a chance to test their mettle with a full 55 gallon drum careening towards them on a zip line and they only get to move out the way when a balloon set on the front is popped by gunfire. you miss, you get smoked by the barrel, you're too slow to get out of the way, you get smoked by the barrel. we can charge admission, it'll be fun.

There's a few guys on here that I would gladly pay to watch get smoked by a barrel. Who do we talk with to put blanks in their gun?

Why a barrel? I was thinking a 700 lb grizz with a coke addiction two days sober and hungry.

Am I blank round recipient? If not I wanna play.

I was also wondering if I made the list.

I can guarantee that anyone who grabs their spray will not stop the barrel.

 

[DouglasR]

I just carry a nalgene of boiling water and if the bear gets too close, you know where it’s going.

Now that’s just unrealistic. I’m trying to make this happen.
