357 vs. 9mm for hiking Grizz country
Here's what some Alaskans say about bears, guns, and bear spray. For example, comment #19: "Yeah, and I have had them charge me when I was minding my own business. Lots of interactions with bears when I was logging on the coast. If I tried to convince you how many bears I dealt with on a... -

357 vs. 9mm for hiking Grizz country
Thanks for the AK tips. My trip is a retirement recon trip. Three weeks is laughable but it's what I got. If I ever retire to AK I'll have time to properly visit the wilds. Yukon Charlie and Wrangel St. Elias are at the top of my list. Gates and Brooks, also. And a long float trip, too... -

Thanks for posting. Was this an aimed hunting shot (brain?) or defensive shot against charging bear? -

"If it can go wrong, it will go wrong". For better or worse, this is engrained in me. A thing is extremely unlikely until it happens. As the enraged sow closes the last ten feet with blood red eyes, will the victim be thinking: ~ "So glad I brought this 9mm" or ~ "What the **** was I... -

Friend, no need to cover up. Three elements show your post was directly aimed at me: (1) It was the first response to my post (2) It plainly referenced me by saying "you" nine times, in context of bear defense. You wrote: - The notion that you will be able to effectively use your hunting... -

"I'd never carry a 9mm for bear defense. Black or otherwise." --------------------------------------- Me neither. But I won't criticize someone who does. They might not have anything else to carry or can't afford something bigger. We're all here for love of outdoors and hunting. Now, if I... -

357 vs. 9mm for hiking Grizz country
Read my post again. I flat out said I'd need to practice with a S&W .500 magnum. Now, I can shoot my 6" S&W 629-1 (.44 mag) fast enough I occasionally used it for plate shoots only 5 years ago. I can shoot a .500 S&W half as fast as the 629-1, and about as accurate, too. But, again, I'd need... -

Carrying a particular firearm, shooting that firearm at a range, and killing a grizzly with that firearm are three different things. How many guys do you know who killed a grizzly with their G20? -

Canadians buying First lite, can't buy in USD or have items shipped to the USA
When digital currency replaces cash, the issuing authority, i.e. the govt, can program your digital account to limit or prohibit purchases. In fact, some world and govt leaders are saying exactly that. These error messages aren't just possible but probable as time goes by: "You have reached... -
