All we really need to know is was it with a 9mm?

"Had I not been able to kill him, he’d have killed and likely eaten me.”

That says it all.

Charging Bear Killed In Alaska ~ Visa or Mastercard ?

From the title I can tell the banks are getting really irresponsible these days.

Giving bears charge cards and all.

Was he buying bear food or lodging when popped ?

Ruger .454 Casull.

It's a dupe, but the pictures in the Field and Stream article are worth it!

Sounds like the bears arent getting enough normal food and are going after other possibilities.

 

[FiremanBob]

Not a good advertisement for Ruger if his gun jammed after four or five shots.

With global warming turning the north into a tropical paradise, you'd think that there would be plenty of stuff in the new Alaskan jungles.

It was apparently an old bear. It's teeth were worn down to nubs. Everything dies eventually. People just aren't usually an option on the menu for starving bears, but that's apparently changing.

His Revolver jammed? After 5 or 6 shots, wasn't he just empty?

According the Ruger website, the Super Redhawk chambered in .454 Casull is a six-shooter.

Brush instinctively back-pedaled to avoid the charge, drawing the Ruger from its holster. “I fired from the hip as he closed the distance,” Brush recalls. “I know I missed the first shot, but I clearly hit him after that. I believe I fired four or five shots. ”

I wonder if he just emptied his revolver in panic and only thought it jammed.

But you're right, Bob - that's not a good advertisement for Ruger.

A new trend maybe, suicide by hiker?

Maybe the hiker walked on the bear's lawn

The bear probably thought he only had a 9mm.

(this was the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw the title - you beat me to it!)


So, how far behind was he on payments before they sent the legbreakers after him?

I'm glad Massachusetts bans these dangerous "Assault Bears".

Alaskans are not quite as dumb as californians.

I'm glad Massachusetts bans these dangerous "Assault Bears".

it should not have been banned, it was pre-ban, probably born prior to 1994, had low capacity jaw.

The only species now found in overabundance as a result of global warming appears to be the urban moonbat. They're positively thriving.

I wonder how they will handle he coming ice-age? They have evolved to require 70F year round...

One can always hope for extinction.

If all the moonbats died, we wouldn't have anyone to make fun of.

We'll keep a special limited breeding program running at the zoo...

Then we can say in a french accent:
"And this is the rare and beautiful 20th century liberal... They used to be quite common all over the world, but much like the Panda, their breeding habits and utterly lacking survival skills mean that only carefully controlled conservation projects keep a tiny population alive in climate controlled living arrangements such as the enclosure you see before you... Note that all of its needs are taken care of by the handlers. The Liberal is a parasite that requires a high functioning host to provide for its needs... Please keep back from the glass, they can infringe on your rights quite easily... "


Either that or we can just make fun of Blitz...
