Ever run into a bear in the woods, a mama with two babies in tow? Ever had a bear wander in your dog door? Ever had a mad assed dog chase you down the street? I have experienced all these things and I like with odds better with a gun than without.

I have no illusions. My mother raised mountain lions from the bottle. I've wrestled them in her living room. And got my ass thoroughly whipped fasted than I could react. I get it.

And then there are the 2-legged animals. There was a hunter last fall that would have kicked my ass in a second if I hadn't been open carrying. LOL, he was so mad he was shaking, but he was also very polite.
