I think posing in pictures with guns is stupid. But, people have the right to do it. People are trying to look cool and tough. Like I said above though it comes off as overcompensatory. Guns are not glamorous. They are not toys. And they shouldn't be treated as such.
Mountain Lion attacks are rare events. And what makes them worse is people overreact if they see one and cause the cat to attack. Alot of times mountain lions come at you it's because they are protecting their young. It's good to know your surroundings where you are hiking, what is there, and how to deal with it. Though if one does attack you and there is no recourse, is gun handy. Yes.
Exactly. Do I want to shoot one? No. Do I want to raise my hands and try to reason with one as my only recourse if it does attack? Hell no.
bear spray works pretty well and a loud air horn is another one that works....you'll freak a big cat right out with an air horn. I've encountered bear and big cats in the woods but knew enough to steer clear of their territory and get downwind of them quickly.
Right. If you notice it in time (hence my know and keep privy of your surroundings) you can back off and get away without further incident. But, if you get too close it will attack you. So yeah a gun is handy in that situation.
Your assumption is incorrect. I am out there. I spend a LOT of time in the forest. Unarmed. I've never yet been attacked by an animal. Just because you intend to kill the animals doesn't mean they intend to kill you. barfo
It's sad when old people try to be sex symbols when they qualify for social security.....she looks like she's been patched together with dry wall mud and is trying to be a drunk 19 year old Lindsay Lohan slobbering on her pillow
This just continues to prove I need protection against cougars. This protection would just be of the latex variety.
We have hunting in England. I grew up in rural England surrounded by farms and we found shotgun shells littered all over the place. YOU DON'T HUNT WITH A FUCKING AR-15. Well, you don't hunt animals with an AR-15.
