As well armed as I seem the last time I had a run-in with a Brown Bear I had a staple gun in one hand and a target in the other. The staples were only 1/4" or I would have stood my ground.

The Model-25 was 150 yards away hanging on a nail outside the shop, would have been just as helpful if it was hanging in Montana.

Years ago Sara Loose asked me if I was afraid of the bears in Alaska. Told her they are not a problem, I stay out of the woods, they stay out of the bars grin
