I've said this before on other threads, but I visited my local gun dealer a couple of weeks ago and he said things are getting a "little" better. Then I looked at his shelves and things had gotten a LOT better. I picked up a box of 50 Fiocchi 9mm 124 grain JHP for $21 and he had a lot more...

I'm not even going to dignify that one with a response.

Not on the forehead of an emaciated bear. The skin of the head is heavily infused with blood vessels.....which is why head wounds bleed so badly.

These dogs, according to the owner, had been a running battle with bears for months. One had recently been cornered in their own yard under a trampoline. So your position is that they would detect the bear but pay no attention to it?

And some are not visibly damaged. So what? Like I said before maybe it was hit by a logging truck.

Ummmm......let's see.....that was with a rifle and he got arrested. How would that pertain to this discussion, exactly?

Three times in less than a second? Where's the YouTube on that? I'd like to see it. Second bullet would go about straight up, we all know that. And you say three dogs could fail to detect a bear only a few yards from them? These were German Shepherds......you know, the famous drug-sniffing...

Whether or not the claimed feat of revolver shooting is possible..... THAT is a valid and appropriate discussion in this forum and this thread. What could be more appropriate? So present your evidence or state your opposing case. Politely.

Exactly. Which is why other levels of security can be incredibly important.....starting with looking and acting like someone with nothing much to steal......especially guns. No NRA signs, no 2nd Amendment bumper stickers, no "Don't worry about the dog, beware the owner" signs with big gun...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUKyJHWvAww Now that's some nice recoil. I'd really like to see somebody shoot it three times in less than a second with heavy loads.

Hard to believe, huh? http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=591_1250131811 Need some acid in this gene pool, I guess. People will do anything to get famous.

I think the ammo shortage is about over. I'm seeing lots of full shelves now. I suspect that most of the hoarders that caused the problem have exhausted their panic levels.

While we're myth-busting..... There was a claim that the authorities verified the shooter's story. False. They could not verify the story because they didn't see what happened. The authorities are there to see if a grizzly has been shot illegally. That is their only job. The did not see...

Another myth we can easily dispel: Adrenalin helped this guy react faster than humanly possible. No, this guy claims it all happened in the time it takes a grizzly in, as he stated, "full charge" ("really motoring" was also used) to cover less than 20 yards. Adrenalin cannot impact you in...

Texagun, I used Cosmo's link, which was: http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/wildlife/bears/story/897940.html Then I read the comments after the story and found the one I posted: That, from a local who knows the man, certainly points to motive.

"Where they breathe," you say. That's exactly my point. The pics showed clearly that there was ZERO blood from the nostrils. That proves it was not a lung shot. So where was the hit? So far there has been no proof the bear was shot at all.....the person involved claims he doesn't...

When's the last time your house burned down? When's the last time your neighbor's house burned down? When's the last time ANY house in your neighborhood burned down? For me, the answer is never. Now ask yourself how important fire protection in a gun safe is.

Cosmo: Here's one of the comments below the news story in your link. Some honest Alaska local hereby verifies my suspicions about motive: Like I said.

Oh.....and your supporting link says, "An Alaska fishing guide says he killed a grizzly bear that charged him..." Yeah, that about sums it up.

No, I said only a brain or spine shot could drop a bear instantly. I said if it was a lung shot we'd see blood from the nostrils--there was NONE. Are you paying attention at all? I said that a brain or spine shot could drop the bear instantly. What part of that do you not comprehend? No...
