I'm an "out of stater" as far Alaska is concerned..but I have a brain....if someone IS local,I trust their judgement on matters of what gun to carry when....but like I said I have a brain....
BTW..it kind of is an air gun.......it will "ventilate" quite nicely :neener:
 
The only good thing about stupid people like that is they will keep the bear busy.

Good for your wife. I wonder about the sound thing too. I know it is a last resort but I wonder if a baby could go deaf from that... hmmm.
 
Get a suppressor for the .50 Beowulf. Your child's hearing is worth $900.00 for the suppressor and transfer tax, photos and fingerprints, and jumping through a few hoops

Agreed, but if that's not an option, some 25-cent earplugs for the baby would do about the same thing. (Cut 'em in half lengthwise to help 'em fit -- or use the moldable silicone ones.)

Jordan,

Great post. Your wife did a fine job handling the hikers.

Guy: "Isn't that going to make them angry?"

Wife, laughing: "Well actually, I think it'll kill them."

This reminds me of the story (which I'm sure many here have heard) about the LEO that carried a 1911 in Condition 1 in his hip holster.

Person: "That looks dangerous."
LEO: "I wouldn't carry the SOB if it wasn't."
 
pax- I totally agree about the earplugs, but in the case she has to use the .50 against a bear, I wonder if she'll have time to plug the baby's ears? I sincerely hope the occasion never arises...

Yes. I meant, put 'em in at the beginning of the walk, take 'em out when walk time is over.

They probably never considered that carrying an "assault rifle" might be legal. Sounds to me like the guy thought it was a 5.56, and thought it wouldn't be much help against a charging bear.
 
well, lead paint chips, maybe?

too funny. and yes, gotta love the "no foul" gimme a break.

EARPLUGS for the baby. please. muffs befroe you go out, something , anything.

otherwise you might consider leaving baby home.

years down the road, you will really regret blowing out your kid's ears to save his(her?) life = all you'll say is "if i had just stayed home that day"
WHY RISK IT?

earplugs !!!!!!!!!

 
The thing about putting earplugs in for every day walks is that it will probably not let the part of the brain that handles hearing develop properly. Then you will have a problem with deafness anyway. If we are talking a trip to the range, yes put plugs in; but to put them in for an hour or two every day while on a walk may not let that part of the brain develop naturally. The human brain is a wonderful thing, the parts we use get developed, those that don't get used don't get developed.

Sadly anti-gun people never used the part that lets them develop logic when they were children. :D
 
Wife here:
I have discussed this with friends and here is my take. When we are out on these daily hikes, I sing to my son, I talk to him about what we are seeing, and we listen to the birds. It is a time we spend "conversing".. I talk to him and he babbles back to me. Ear plugs would end that.
There are so many "what ifs" when you have a baby. Sometimes I think I shouldn't take him out hiking at all.. what if I fell and he was crushed? My mom-friends lecture me constantly about how I jeapardize the saftey of my son by being in the outdoors all the time. I plan to bundle him up and take him out cross country skiing with me this winter. They think that we will have a dangerous crash or be stomped by moose. Maybe, but I am still going. We took him camping when he was two weeks old. Oh my, did that upset EVERYONE we knew. He was fine, he was happy. Yes, there are many dangers out there. During that same camping outing there was a grizzly on the other side of the river from us. I won't let fear of what could happen stop me from living my life to the fullest. When he is a little older he will be roaming the woods by himself. Believe me, my motherly "overprotective" hormones kicked in the day he was born and I have to let my good sense battle those fears everyday.

I don't think the bears care to tangle with me anymore than I do with them. Most encounters are easy to avoid. I have two dogs that crash through the woods and should alert the bears as to our presence. I head home the minute the dogs smell something that gets them barking. And I will probably never need to fire my weapon, but i will continue to carry it just in case. I don't know all the right answers, I just try to do my best to be a good/smart mom.
 
So, do you have a sister?(Wouldn't help me, I'm married, but several have asked.... ;) ) Very well stated, BTW. He a lucky guy to have you.
 
Jordan: Was it a black or a brown bear that attacked your neighbor?

This guy I know lives in the mountains in a small town in the Tahoe Nat'l Forest. It's not terribly uncommon to see black bears wandering around the streets at night. I've heard of them breaking into houses, but never of anyone getting attacked, though occasionally the Forest Circus has to track down a problem one. I've never seen anyone carrying openly, though I know some hillbillies and gold miners who might sometimes carry conealed without a permit. By the way, this one gold miner I know says the bears smell so bad he can tell when they've walked through his claim, though I think he might be playing too much with arsenic.

By the way Speer reloading manual number 13 says a 10mm handgun firing heavier FMJ's is a good trail gun for bears (and those guys seem fairly conservative about bear loads). That might be more convenient than a long gun.
 
Jordan's wife:

I think you're doing just fine. Be protective of the kid, but not overprotective. You can't (nobody can) guarantee he'll never get hurt, and avoiding life for fear of pain just ain't right! :)
 
Those people aren't supposed to survive...

In Nature, the weaker of the species is killed off. Unfortunately, humans have all these "safeties" in place to keep the really stupid alive and breeding!

These are the same type of people that think they can wreck their car at 70 mph and escape un harmed because they have air bags...

Good Wife! BAd Stupids!
 
A good single shot rifle to carry in defence of large game is the .454 Lever Action. Once again, it's single shot, so its gotta count.
 
That's one lucky kid!

Like yeah, that's what I was like fixing to say. He starts traveling the country alone, he'll like have grown up learning how to like handle stuff.

I like noticed like how everybody's like got an opinion on stuff like what gun to like carry. You know, like, for bears, you gotta like get the biggest cannon you can like carry and shoot.

You know, like ignorance ain't like bliss, you know, like what you don't know can like kill you. These stupids, they can like freak you out like with their like hairbrain lack of like common sense.

Like how many times can somebody like say "like" in a like sentance? :neener: But I'm serious about the rest of it.
