Traveling with a handgun?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Muskyman:
That’s funny but I’m sure there’s a certain amount of truth to it. That said I’m betting that besides their rifle or shotgun a big game guide carries a big bore pistol.  I’d rather have a riot gun filled with slugs but I don’t have one. I’m not thinking it’s going to drop one in its tracks but it might change its mind, maybe.  There are lots of documented cases where a pistol has saved people’s lives. What really made my decision to take it was a comment I read on a website where a guy was talking about how he would feel watching a bear mauling his child and no weapon to do anything about it with.  As I always say, it’s better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it 😁

If I was going to grizzly country I'd be packing too. Better safe than sorry.  :OK

Pappy:
No Griz where I go but a few Black bears they say, :-\ I do carry my pocket gun but I have it all the time if I have my pants on, ;) it would probably just make a bear mad but dose make a lot of noise, ;D I am driving so no problem with getting it there. :)

Here is a dumb question from a Canuck. Is it legal to carry in the national park? Up here no firearms are allowed in the parks so you're stuck with bear spray.

Pappy:
Not sure Mark but never been checked except for the court house so I carry one everywhere else. Pappy
