Brownie shot charging/454 Casull
A resident of Soldotna, AK recently stopped a charging brown bear at mere feet while out walking his dog in town, with a Ruger 454 Casull. The bear charged unexpectedly from 20 feet away. http://www.adn.com/2009/08/13/...s-dog-walker-to.html


velocity is like a new car, always losing value.
BC is like diamonds, holding value forever.

Yea, I didn't catch the year, it was just sent to me. It does throw a bucket of water on those that claim a handgun is worthless in a bear attack, which I've read many times.

That happened in 2009. I've talked to Greg before, and it was a good thing he was carrying.

The guys that promote handgus don't work.

They do not want facts that would ruin a good theory.
