These guys do a great job. |
You are insufferable.
If the guy wants to carry and firearm and trains to do so and is doing it legally all the power to him. Yes, the science largely points that bear spray is more effective for a larger portion of encounters, but to encourage him to take courses like this is purely disrespectful. He clearly knows what he is doing and chooses to go above and beyond. Just because you seem to have a opinion on the use of firearms does not make your opinion solely correct. Big bad firearms everyone run for your lives.
This is tragic news. One of my greatest fears as a avid bowhunter.
There is a ton of bears and cats in the woods these days make sure you carry protection and know how to use it quickly and effectively. Spray out of reach is useless.
