He couldn’t shoot it again and end its misery? No more shells? Weird.

The bear was rabid.
Does that mean it was a Democrat?
To: elhombrelibre
I can’t figure that out either, but perhaps with the atmosphere of legalism that hangs over everything you do he was afraid. After all the threat was over and it wasn’t open season - perhaps he was afraid of getting charged with “murdering a bear”.

Fascinating, bears wander through her yard all the time and all the husband has is one buckshot. Wonder if he keeps it in his shirt pocket?

“said she was losing her tussle with the 134-pound sow when Michael Stanton pulled the trigger.”
Uh... 134 lbs? What was this bear, 6 months old?

At close range you don’t necessarily need buckshot. Birdshot will blow a hole the size of a silver dollar in a railroad tie at close range.

I’m not so sure I’d fight with a rabid bear over an air conditioner.

“Im not so sure Id fight with a rabid bear over an air conditioner.”
I think she was thinking it was easier trying to hold the AC in the window then trying to fight the bear in the window.
Big hunk of metal between me and the bear works for me.

You have a point there, perhaps he’s lucky it tested for rabies. Even the special interest whackos don’t like rabies.

“Even the special interest whackos dont like rabies.”
The gun grabbers in this state really think that us gun owners ARE rabid and would like to get rid of us.

Yeah, I suppose that would inhibit many people, like a case of self-defense with an intruder.

True. A slug is a far more devastating projectile for penetration and expansion than buckshot. Save your buckshot for humans up close.
