Does this kind of sales pitch atually mean something to some people?
It probably means more to people who've actually encountered bears in the woods. Maybe you need to broaden your experience a bit.

Let's see ... at least three times that I can remember right off. (no, make that four on second thought)I don't know how many on this thread have been out amongst(within 100 ft) of a bear.
I saw one at a zoo. I also camped at Raton pass for a couple of days. I never actually saw a bear, but I suspect I was within 100' of one at some time.I don't know how many on this thread have been out amongst(within 100 ft) of a bear.
Same here...the only bears you run into around here are those big hairy guys that like to wear leather.The_Shootist said:Mind you, its easy for me to sit here and pontificate, sitting in comfort on Galveston where you likely won't run into a bear taking out the trash.
Naw, what I do know I tend to keep to myself when gun shopping and just let the salesman talk. I find it is easier to tell who is legit if you just let them cover everything. Even the few things I already know.Ryder said:The salesman may have been trying to better serve you by determining your application. Lots of people believe the 44 mag is a bad choice for self defense against humans. Did you try to impress him with your superior gun knowledge?
