Bear Gun

[Blackhawk19]

My personal favorite bear defense gun has always been a Beretta Jetfire in
.22 short! I've found over the years when hiking in bear country I never
leave without it in my pocket.

Of course we all know the first rule when hiking in the wilderness is to use
the "Buddy System". For those of you who may be unfamiliar with this it means
you NEVER hike alone, you bring a friend or companion, even an in-law. That
way if something happens there is someone to go get help.

I remember one time hiking with my brother-in-law in northern British
Columbia. Out of nowhere came this huge brown bear and man was she MAD! We
must have been near one of her cubs. Any way if I had not had my little
Jetfire I'd sure not be here today.

That's right, one shot to my brother-in-law's knee cap and I was able to
escape by just walking at a brisk pace. That's one of the best pistols in my
safe!

Up here in the Appalachians we have a lot of black bears. But a gun isn't really in order, not that I oppose the idea. We just have so much gun free federal park area there's no sense in relying on one. I hike solo, up and back, working trout streams with a fly rod. Still, the biggest thing I encounter is deer and people.

That's a good un Blackhawk. Now I understand the true importance of the buddy system. :D

You gotta use the buddy system. a relative or "friend , and my little buddy, "Bang!"
