Gun violence in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Like Im going to pull my gun on anyone,I dont even fire the thing. Like I said,which has been roundly ignored,its double trigger locked and in my storage room. Its only a tool for wildlife managment. Stop trying to paint me like Im an NRA member,because I hate the NRA with a passion. I said before,Im all for reasonable gun control.
The original point was "Why even have a gun"
Well I responded there are legitimate reasons to own a firearm. Now suddenly Im the NRA member.
Not bloody likely. I own one gun, and for one reason.
The only animals Ive even killed in the last ten years, was two worriesome raccoons,and that was with a bow.
Sorry,your both barking up the wrong tree,Im not a gun nut,and I dont hunt,and even though legally I could have one,I dont own a pistol.

Well I didn't call you anything. Could care less what you position is on guns. I just like talking about bears, becuz I personally know a bit about them...
So do I
Last I checked,its my states official animal.
If you catch them in the wild,they run for it,we get whats called down here,"town bears",they on the other hand get dangerous, and have been known to attack. Everybody down here knows if your chased by a bear,corner,they dont corner worth a crap.
It isnt like Im thrilled with owning a gun, but town bears can get dangerous, mainly because theyve stopped fearing people. So the gun becomes one of those things you keep around the house hoping it never comes up that you have to use it.
As far as the Coons,we tried relocating them, they came back,and got even more agressive,having pets and the kid,I really didnt have a choice in the matter. Sorry,Im not having my kid or my dog mauled by a bear,or having my cats get rabies when I can handle the situation all on my own.
Taint happening magee
Now maybe in Canada,the bears act and react differently, I dont know,I dont live in Canada,but I do know that once you get a town bear in WV,youve got a serious problem on your hands,and youd best be prepared to deal with it.
