Maneaters -- When you need a gun

[Bigum1969]

I just came in from outside working in the yard and Animal Planet's show "Maneaters" is on. The story I'm watching right now is about a family out camping and sleeping under the stars. A wolf comes into the camp and drags away the youngest child. The father has to spend precious minutes trying to get the wolf to drop the child.

And then, the wolf continues to menace the family. In a situation like this, my 10mm Glock 20, loaded with some Double Tap ammo would be just what the doctor ordered. :do2:

Anyway, you think these things can't happen, but they do. Just thought I'd share.

The best part is that you carrying in any one of our fine state parks is fully legal.

 

[Bigum1969]

That is great regarding the state parks.

Is it still illegal in National Forests and Parks?

 

[turnandshoot4]

Hmm. From what I read it looks like no. The Indiana law in state parks is a pretty new one though.

If it was something other than a wolf I'd shoot... but I would let a wolf kill me before I'd harm one (I've got issues I know hahah)

What about your sister or your mom? Gonna let the wolf eat them?

 

[flagtag]

No animal, not even a "protected" one is worth more than a human life. "Protected" or not, it would die if it attacked a human (and I could do something about it).

I know that the "law" would probably arrest me, but, I would let a jury of my peers decide.

 

[Bigum1969]

I'm pretty sure I'd take out the wolf too!

Well I don't have a sister... and the wolf would be doing me a favor with my mom...

Oh I don't care if they are protected... I just can't harm a wolf. Coyote sure, wolf, no.

I understand what you are saying. They are such beautiful creatures!

...as are grizzly's, mountain lions and polar bears. That is, until their pretty muzzles are covered with your blood.

That is the good thing though... wolves are highly unlikely to attack humans. It's a freak thing when they do... other animals however are more inclined to confront humans. Usually wolves will stay clear of you, unless they are very very very very very hungry.

True! And while it would break my heart to kill one, I would still choose the human life over the animal.

(Unless the human was a REAL scumbag! [eg. a child molester], then - oops. I "missed")

 

[Bigum1969]

I think the wolf is a special animal. I lived out west (Colorado) when they were being reintroduced.

BUT, life or death you wouldn't shoot?

+1!!

And that ^, too.

Not a wolf... I'd let it kill me. Then again, I"m odd.

And would you stand by and allow someone ELSE be killed?

Probably. Guess you don't wanna go camping with me. Heh.
