I read somewhere that Germans can own Ruger Super Blackhawks with the 7-1/2” barrel, because the long barrel makes it legally not a handgun in that country.

Now, carrying one in the woods on a hike is a whole different matter.

“Did she shake it off?”

Nope, and she missed a good opportunity to let her she-wolf out.

Maybe her music was “Boaring”.

It’s a typo. It was supposed to read “two old bores.”

If you are implying that handguns are illegal in Germany, you would be mistaken. Legal to own - fairly easy, after jumping through some bureaucratic hoops. Legal to carry - now that IS difficult.

My way of explaining her is like this...Shakira was born in Colombia in 1977. She was around so long she seems older than 44. She obviously started as a singer in the Spanish language market in the late 90s in 96 at 19. Her appearance and music changed over time. Her reddish-orangy-brown hair changed to blonde. Her music changed from Pop alternative rock to danceable pop with a tinge of R&B. She moved to Spain and married a soccer player. She then entered the English language market. Never resided in America but has traveled here for tours, interviews and to visit. She gained wider fame once she sang in English and had hits. She became known for her belly dancing on stage and at times using a snake as a prop. She appeared at the Super Bowl halftime show in 2020 with Jennifer Lopez in a much criticized performance.

One correction...she gained fame in the Latin music scene by 19. But her first album was at 13 in 1990. 11 years later she rolled out her first English album.

I’m just recalling something I saw a while back. I think the main takeaway is that the long-barreled revolver is not classified as a handgun.

Other than that, I have to plead ignorance.

:^)

Was she trying to pet them? I’ve seen idiots walk up to bull Buffalo trying to get a picture.

And I’ll plead semi-knowledge...:)

Unlikely that anything without a rifle stock would NOT be classified as a handgun, no matter the barrel length.

This seems to be an ongoing problem in Europe. If you can't shoot them they turn into racoons, unafraid of humans, just a bit more dangerous. Related threads

Actually, she was not attacked. The boars were not at all interested in her or her fame or anything to do with her.

The boar sensed there might be something to eat in the bag and took it.

In America, black bears go after backpacks and coolers. They know exactly where the good stuff is
