I'm sure I'm going to light a fire here but the issue is not a 2nd Amendment issue. Its a common sense issue. If you are going to film bears in bear country then you had better use common sense. Should we all start carrying our firearms into the woods and shoot the first bear we see because he/she my attack us. I am all for the 2nd Amendment nut in this case it would not have helped this man. If as the story goes and he was close enough for the bear to lubge at him and he was taking pictures then buy the time he would have got his firearm ready he would have already been in the jaws of the bear. Lets not forget that the bear was acting on instinct. She thought that her cubs where in danger because the man surprised her or got to close. The fact that he lived is testament that she was only sending him a message. If was trying to actually kill him the by god she would have done so, and done so with ease. To compare this issue to walking down the street with criminals is nuts. That man willingly put himself in harms way and he paid the price, and for him to do that and then possibly shoot the bear because he purposfully got to close for the sake of a picture is absolutely wrong. Just one mans thoughts on the subject.
