25 acp grizzly medicine
« on: August 13, 2012, 03:05:58 PM »
My daughter and I were in the Jim Bridger wilderness in Montana last week and we were charged by the biggest sow grizzly I've ever seen. We must have been near its cubs, but I never saw any cubs. Anyway, the bear was within maybe twenty yards when I fired a single shot from my old Beretta 25acp Jetfire. This was exactly what it took to divert the bear's attention from me so that I could make my escape. That one well placed shot into my daughter's kneecap is all it took.






(its a joke, guys) :)

I hear that all the time from the guys that carry .22 pistols.

What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

Now if I was a male chauvinist I would say that is what wimmenfolk are for.
As  I sit here typing---bleeding from the head--and the Hen standing behind me with a cast iron skillit bouncing off my skull (BTW--she don't even know how to use that Skillit anymore) demanding I retract that statement, I can only say, as I go down----THAT is what wemmin folk are for.

This is why seafaring men have the old phrase "women and children first". They go first, and if they survive it's probably safe for the men to follow.
