Ever consider if your EDC would stop a polar bear?

LOL!

Line of the year, "the bear mistakes her for a walrus". HA!!!

If someone is dumb enough to go into a polar bear enclosure, she needs to be eaten. Sorry, but that is a fact.

Mine would....

Seriously though the bear was just doing what bears naturally do. If anything was to be shot it should have been the stupid lady. IMO

This....

Besides, if the bear wanted her dead... she would be dead.

I would have shot the polar bear. I carry a 9mm sig p226 and that should be more than enough to bring down a polar bear.

After all, it worked on Lost.

I would not shoot the bear in this scenario.

I definitely would not shoot teh bears either. This dumb*** went out of her way to try to be killed.

Unless an invasion of southern Indiana by polar bears is predicted, I don't think I'm going to lose much sleep over it.

Circumstances

If you and I are hiking and a bear attacks us, I have no need to shoot the bear. However, I believe even a .22lr will do the job. All I need to do is kneecap you and keep moving.

I ain't messin' wit no Polar Bear. Period!
Luck of the Walrus ran out

I would imagine, that IF I were to find myself in a situation where a Polar Bear is a threat to me, no matter what type of weapon I happen to be carrying at the time......would not seem like it was anywhere near adequate.

I spent a while living in Hoonah,Alaska on Chichagof Island... The island has the highest population of Brown Bear per sq mile in the world and I saw these amazing creatures in their natural habitat on a daily basis.

One story I remember fondly is that I was Salmon fishing and had two on the bank... Maybe twenty feet from me out pops a mature Brown Bear who looked at me, looked at the two Salmon on the bank, swiped one and went on his way...

The only time I ever felt threatened was when I stumbled upon a mother and her twin cubs... I could hear and feel her stalking me all the way back to the trail head where I had parked the ATV that day... But the bottom line is that circumstance it was my own actions that put me in a less than intelligent position, but I respected her space when she told me to back off, and I made it home safe...

The woman who jumped into this enclosure deserved to die the slow death a Bear provides... It's simply weeding out the idiots by natural selection.

No way would I shoot the bear. Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. I've got a hunch bears are worth a lot of money to their zoo.

 

[Jack Burton]

I only carry a .22 when I am with my friends out in bear country. Considering that I don't have to outrun the bear, just the slowest of my friends, a good leg shot with a .22 will slow any one of them down.

If Drob and I go out together we both might get eaten by the bear.

I will never ever see a polar bear in the wild so no, it has not been thought about. What I will and do run across in the wild on a regular basis my EDC will handle very nicely thank you very much.
