Pretty simple, actually. Ever touch your eyes after handling jalapenos or habaneros? Now multiply that by 1000 times. Also, in your nose and throat as well. Anyone who's ever been in the Army (and presumably the Marines, although I was Army) will remember tear/CS gas training. Basically...

See my discussion above. No comparison between DLP shootings (i.e. bears in the garbage shot from ambush) and defensive shootings (8-10 feet on a rushing bears). "Heck, maybe I should pack a bottle of Pepto too, just incase I disagree with it. I don't know how well a Bear's stomach would reach...

Disagree==Between the wife and I, we have almost a dozen Glocks=from G43 to G20, EDC to woods guns. Only FTF were when using fast, light ammo in G43 (recycled slide TOO fast!). Massood told me to go 147 HP and we never looked back! Only mods were slide "ears" for my arthritic hands, "lite...

Had a couple of Colt .22 single actions=fun but nowhere as good as my Ruger Single sixes. LOVED my 1936 Woodsman (With High Velocity backstrap). More fun than my S & W Model 41.

I shot NRA expert with a Mauser single shot training rifle from the police rifle club. Excellent rifle. They only had the one!

Mossberg 340 series! Regret selling mine! I have a 540 22 Mag that I love!

Used a Glaser 32 acp to put down a wounded buck=head guide reported one shoulder and one side of ribs were "wasted" and bloodshot!

Not familiar with that particular bullet but VERY impressed with Underwood ammo. I have found (in semi-autos) it to be much more reliable than Buffalo Bore. Revolver ammo is comparable, at the least!

I worked in the arms room (71-72)=they were all like that. Only times I carried one live (other than the range) was as escort duty (prisoners) and payroll guard on paydays. I was escorting a "prisoner" (Hippy from Haight-Ashbury in S.F.) through his last day before terminal leave and the XO...

Whitetail or mulie==BIG difference!

Can but not recommended! Could bulge your barrel (assuming you mean a hollow "punkin' ball" type slug). A good hardcast (yes, they are out there!) or solid slug would almost surely ruin your barrel.

The 45 Colt load I use is a 300 or 325 gr hardcast lead, modified Keith SWC at about 1300 fps. My usual load is about 1100 fps and is more controllable. The 41 Mag worked better because, all things being equal (quality bullet, velocity, hardcast, etc) it penetrated better. Most hunters we had...

On the subject of firearms: I worked part-time as a hunting guide in Central Cali on wild pigs while in grad school. We had several "failures to stop" with 44 Magnum revolvers. I switched to 41 Magnum hard-cast or "bowling pin" bullets (jacketed with just the tip exposed) because I got better...

I have had a dozen sets at least! Colts, S & W and Rugers, including a matching set for my Pythons and a matching set for my wife's Vaqueros for SASS. I still have a set for one of my "bear guns", an OM Blackhawk in 45 long colt and a set of rams-horn for a custom Vaquero in 38/40. Also, my...

My understanding is you cannot fly commercially with spray. Private planes are a different story. Remember, if you use spray to (1) clean/clear the nozzle. The oils can clog it up. and (2) be sure to carry enough to get back from your trip. Nothing worse than facing a PO'd bear with an empty...

Not to disparage Tom's work-he is actually a scientist. Weingarten does not appear to be. His data are, by his admission, "cherry picked". For instance, there is a very BIG difference between the black powder firearms of 1883 and the modern firearms of 2009. Weingarten's "data" (Clue: data...

Most people are not familiar about bear behavior which is why most people carry guns. Of course, wearing bear spray on your hip doesn't get you many girls in bars!:D:D FYI: Most fatalities are by fairly young, male, black bears. Grizzlies, as I said before, simply want to remove a threat...

Your aiming to go through the skull and hit a 2x2" target AFTER penetrating the skull. A simple brain shot won't do it=you gotta hit the "walnut". A deflection off of the turbinate bones in the nose or by hitting a sinus cavity could throw you off! Warden interpretation. I know Federal LEOs...

Doesn't need to be much to miss a vital area (i.e. the "walnut"). BTW: It will be hard to justify a 25 yard shot to the wardens.

Like Sean did to Otis in The Walking Dead? OOPS I mean Shane!
