This phone often likes to correct my texts but I’m just wondering why this would be considered a fable or a myth by someone far removed


If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tuff.

Did you read all four of the articles.

How the story was changed over time.

The myth or just plain lie. That old groaner being shot with a handgun several times. As been used by many to try and prove handguns are not suitable for defense against bears.

Why the 1953 article by Handlogger was changed from the 1936 article and who changed it. Well not beknown.

If you take the time and read Mr. Weingarten's other articles on bears and handguns uses. You Will find the he is anything but pro bear spray.

Even though rewrites may change a little bit the story sounds pretty much true to me the fish are all gone by September same with the berries and the bears are a lot more dangerous and people don’t tolerate problem bears especially in the 1930s saw a bear suffering from bullet wounds that hunts people and groans doesn’t sound too far-fetched

Using the old groaner story to prove or disprove anything about handguns is as stupid as trying to disprove the moon landing

Well the rewrite changes a lot from the ordinal story. Adding many things.

If one wants to believe the fiction that was added so be it.
