I grew up hunting and fishing in the Sierras and always carried a .357 "just in case." I knew their was little chance of actually running into a pissed off bear or a hungry mountain lion, but hey, ya never know. So i just felt alittle better with a six gun strapped on my side.
Then it seemed the pot growers decided the mountains were a really good place to grow their pot. I'm not talking about Harry the Hippie that would most likely invite you to smoke one with him, but nasty guys with evil black guns that really don't want anyone near their precious gardens. Every summer there's lots of big pot bust in the news, even an occasional story about hunters being shot at by pot growers. I figured i needed something with a little more firepower than the ole .357. So i started carrying a Glock 23 with a couple spare mags. I'll most likely never run across a disgruntled pot grower, but hey, ya never know. The Glock just gives me that warm fuzzy feeling. And i have lots of bullets.
Then i start hearing stories about how they've discovered meth labs way back up in the hills. Well, okay then, when they're cookin' up their poison, from what i've heard and read, you can smell the chemicals aways off. I'll just high tail it in the opposite direction and call the drug buster guys. And i still have my Glock with lots of bullets.
So i figured if i ever actually did need a gun i'ld be well served by my ole faithful Glock. With lots of bullets. So i'll just keep on huntin', fishin' and four wheelin' and not worry about it.
Then i ran across this:

Great. I've hunted/ fished/ and four wheeled some of these areas. Now i have to worry about some big hairy creature chucking rocks at me. Now my puny little .40 cal no longer gives me that warm fuzzy feeling. Even with lots of bullets.
So what kind of gun do i need for a pot smokin', meth snortin' rock chuckin' big foot? I figure i'll need a really big gun that shoots a really big bullet. I'll most likely never run across the big stinky rock chuckin' creature, but hey, ya never know.
