Are people carrying shotguns for protection form moose and bears in Alaska clinging to guns and religion?

or what about the other 2.4 million defensive gun uses annually?

Jeremiah Wright says we are the "US of KKKA"

Jeremiah has to do with the double standard that exists for Obama and his elitist attitude

    Using a shotgun against a bear would be a serious mistake. In Alaska, the minimum caliber allowed to be used in the field and against dangerous game such as bear is the .338 Winchester Magnum. A shotgun with 000 buck will do little more than tear off flesh. Bears are thick skinned and tough. A 12 gauge slug won’t even penetrate 4 inches. And a wounded bear is really terrifying. Much more likely to kill people.

    Guns are fine in the hands of most people. The real problems arise in the hands of people that are denied legal possession or ownership. Ban weapons in the US, and you will only disarm the legal owners and further enable the illegally armed to employ them in crime.

    Something I add. I am opposed to carrying concealed weapons. I believe the public has the right to see who is armed and have them under scutiny. Mainly, because if I detected a person with a concealed weapon I would likely consider them a potential criminal. Carried openly, I believe a person a legitimate owner and they will act accordingly.

    No, I wouldn’t say so. You’d be better off asking an Alaskan or some one who has had to use a gun for defense though.

    I’m confused though; what does Jeremiah Wright have to do with that?

    what does carrying shotguns for protection from moose and bears have to do with religion? why are you pairing the two?

    alaska is a very different place than the majority of the US. if they are an open carry society, then they are. who cares? why make a point of it?

    more power to them:o)

    I hike where there are black bears and cougar, someone in the group always carries protection, let rabid propagandists make of it what they will. Jeremiah Wright should mix coca cola and mentos in his mouth before he speaks so that he looks the same as he sounds.
