Thanks for sharing. I had forgotten how many we have visited. I wish I had the music... it's also very nice.


I think sometimes we forget that the freedoms we have are freedoms not because of celebrities. The freedoms are because of ordinary people who did extraordinary things, who loved this country more than life itself.

Nothing like a "bang-stick" to deter a lion/coyote/bear from gnawing on your appendages.

I sure hope people carry something more than a 9mm if they have to shoot a bear. I think anything less than a 44 mag would just succeed in pi$$ing off a grizzly or brown bear. But those encounters where people have to shoot the animal in self defense are rare and the bill is intended to uphold our God given right. You are most likely to have to defend yourself against two legged predators.

I agree.

And just to be clear (and educate), you can use the NOISE of a gun firing to scare away the critters without actually shooting/killing them too.
(non-lethal firearm use #9,247)
Guns don't kill, people and animals kill. A gun is just a tool.

Seems to me this is a constitutional right - has nothing to do with with the spirit world ...
