favorite side arm for bears

[rhomas]

No bears down here, but plenty of snakes, 'gators and bad guys! I carry every time I leave the house. My standard concealed carry is a Springfield XD .45, back up is a S&W Sigma .40, or a Bersa Thunder .380; it all depends on the type of clothing I'm wearing. I used to carry a Taurus .357 or Ruger Redhawk .44 mag. as a hunting backup, but after my strokes, broken back, and heart surgery they were too cumbersome to carry in the woods, so I switched to carrying the XD. I often will cap a deer to finish it quickly with the pistol, plus I carry a magazine loaded with snake shot since I'm totally adverse to rattlesnakes, copperheads, and cotton mouths!!!!! Around the house and my property I carry a High Point .9mm, mainly for snakes and the occasional run in with a 'yote.

Ain't nothing wrong with carrying, and it certainly is the antithesis of homo especially considering that a majority of those folks are anti-gun nuts!!!

Last Saturday I was in the boonies from 6am til 9pm...................unarmed. I guess I'm lucky to be alive.

I saw bear and lion scat. Does that count?

Depends upon how big the scat was?

angry grizzly bear is approaching at 44 feet per second

...yikes! Just enough time to not be found in clean undies.
