I would be interested in knowing the rules for engagement for firing your weapon at the bear, mutt. Are you going to fire into a bear which is charging?

That's an excellent question, USA, and it deserves an excellent answer. Unfortunately, I don't know at this point. Like I said, I've got some research to do in case studies of such incidents, to see what works and what doesn't.

What's your advice?

Thanks, mutt, you answered my question.

Typical gun owner. Buy a gun, and ask questions later. It would be fair to think you probably haven't taken the time to learn about bear avoidance either.

LOL - you're right. Rather silly of me. (the "typical gun owner" bit was pretty good trolling, too) Actually, part of the reason I got it is just because I *wanted* it. I don't have any large caliber revolvers. Plus, I can always sell it and recoup most of my money if I tire of it. So part of it is just for fun and to blow the crap out of stuff.

But no, it's not fair to make your assumption. I have read about bear avoidance. I will be reading all I can about defensive handgun use on bears et al before deciding on whether it's actually something I want to carry in the weeds or not.

Yeah because that would just be stupid to buy the gun first, practice shooting with it and THEN learn the tactics which you’ll use it under. Best to study and then pick the gun up on the way to the trailhead.

What a moron.

Vice President Dick Cheney belongs on this thread. Typical "above the law" behavior of the Bush administration. Hunting illegally. Blame it on the shooting victim. Didn't have a stamp for hunting lawyers.

"Back to our vice president and the shot heard round the world – 21 hours after he pulled the trigger.

During his exclusive interview in the gentle hands of Fox News, Cheney revealed that he'd had "a beer" at lunch before going out later on the infamous hunting trip in which he accidentally shot his hunting partner, who remains hospitalized five days later.

We all know the vice president travels the country with the communications capability of a Trident submarine. But because he was negligent in reporting the incident, it appears there is no way we'll know whether he had "a beer" in the literal sense or "a (wink) beer" in the Texas barbecue sense."

http://www.spokesmanreview.com/sports/story.asp?ID=116784


Good idea Cheney had in delaying to report it. Gave him time to avoid a breathalyzer test to determine just how intoxicated he really was.

It would be a shame if it was established that Cheney was intoxicated at the time of the shooting.

Rather hunt with Cheney than ride with Kennedy.
Lets see. Everyone there said Cheney was sober at the time of the shooting.

When Ted Kennedy drove his car off the bridge killing a girl, the fewest count of his drinking was 6 rum and cokes and two beers at a "party" of six married men and six single women.

Negligent in reporting? Reporting to who the DC press? The Sheriff was called and he made an investgation within an hour of the incident.

I love the way the left continues to gin up stories with no basis in fact. They are the party of lies and it has caught up to them.

HOSE the major media, it is called REPORTING, personally if I had the Press Office, I would invite friendly media, tell Helen Thomas (UUUUGLY BEEATCH) to stand outside and wait for a friend to cut her in.
See reporters should have to find the stories. I see all the new people starting out in the media in the small towns. I love it at 4AM when the phone used to ring in dispatch and a talking head was asking, "anything happen tonight?" . One night I picked up the phone and said, "HELL Where were you guys, a light airplane hit a nursing home, Jeez we got the other two TV stations, the Chornicle, CNN and CSPAN up here."

I got a chuckle out of it.

Well Dan the Dems have nothing else going on right now so why not keep banging away at this story? I mean, it's not like they have a platform to get together, find some fresh ideas to the country's problems, try to relate to the common man, ect. Naw, just keep doing the opposite of the Bush admin and they'll be fine. It worked in 2004 for Kerry. Oh wait a tick...

Bystander Fired Deadly Shot, Not Officer

Bystander Fired Deadly Shot, Not Officer

There were two big developments Monday in the case of a motorist who was shot and killed along Greenwell Springs Road Friday after a fight with a police officer. Investigators say an autopsy shows the deadly bullet was fired by a bystander, not the officer. Police also announced that no charges would be filed in the case, either against the police officer involved or the bystander who fired the fatal shot into the head of George Temple.

East Baton Rouge Sheriff's spokesman Greg Phares says Officer Brian Harrision was escorting a funeral procession Friday when he pulled Temple over and wrote him a ticket for breaking into the procession. According to Phares, that's when Temple attacked Harrison. Police say Perry Stevens was walking outside of the Auto Zone on Greenwell Springs Road when he heard Harrison yelling for help. Harrison was reportedly on his back with Temple on top of him. That's when Stevens went to his car and grabbed his .45 caliber pistol.

According to Col. Greg Phares, "[Mr. Stevens] orders Mr. Temple to stop and get off the officer. The verbal commands are ignored and Mr. Stevens fires four shots, all of which struck Mr. Temple."

Perry Stevens fired four shots into Temple's torso. Officer Harrison had already fired one shot into Temple's abdomen. With Temple still struggling with the officer, Perry continued to advance toward the scuffle.

"He again orders Mr. Temple to stop what he was doing and get off the officer. Those commands are ignored and he fires a fifth shot and that hits his head. The incident is over with, and as you know, Mr. Temple is dead."

Police are calling the shooting death justified. Perry Stevens has a permit to carry a concealed weapon. Col. Phares would not give out any more details relating to the shooting. Both Phares and Baton Rouge Police Chief Jeff LeDuff stopped short of crediting Stevens with saving the officer's life. LeDuff says the entire incident is unfortunate.

"I spoke with his father at the scene briefly," said LeDuff. "I think this is a tragic situation all around."

9 News is told George Temple has a criminal record, and Officer Harrison was involved in a shooting while employed as a prison guard in East Baton Rouge Parish, where he was suspended for three days back in 1995.
