“ In New England the only animal that wants to kill me is a Democrat Governor.”
Well, in addition to that murderous scumbag, here in Eastern Connecticut black bears, wolf/coyote hybrids and a cougar I personally witnessed are on the prowl. I carry a Ruger 9mm in the warm months and a .40 S&W Glock 23 in the colder months. I think either will do the job if I do my part.
We have those in Western MA. If you are bigger than a cat or yappy dog…they run away from you before you can see them.
The bears around here stay away from people. Not picnic baskets…but people.
Again, little yappy dogs should carry. Ha ha.
