Grizzly Bear Attack? Shut him down with a telescopic baton

bear bangers are good. you shoot one of those at a bear and it'll run for 3 hrs before it thinks its safe.








just a tip: fire it in front of the bear, not behind it because it will drive it towards you.

I should get one of those.

I'd rather scare it off than shoot it.

I don't go into the Sierra's or into the Northern Nevada desert without being armed to the teeth.

Hey if it wasn't against the law I would have an ack ack 12.

You know an AA-12

It's not against the law in NV. You just have to file the proper NFA paperwork.

In Canada you cannot carry anything. Without a permit.

And explaining why you need an AA-12 would be impossible.

This is what you cannot carry...

(a) a knife with a retractable or folding blade which, by design or through wear, will open by centrifugal force or gravity, or by a spring or similar device. This has been interpreted by the courts to include a butterfly knife;

(b) nunchaku or similar objects made up of hard, non-flexible sticks linked by a flexible length of chain. This includes objects where the sticks are replaced by, for example, pipes or other rigid pieces, and where the chain is replaced by rope, wire or other flexible material;

(c) shuriken or similar objects which are made of a hard, non-flexible material in an essentially two-dimensional regular geometric form with one or more sharp edges;

(d) manrikigusari or kusari or similar objects which are made up of geometrically-shaped hard weights or hand grips linked by rope, chain, wire or other flexible material;

(e) a push dagger, namely a knife where the blade is perpendicular to the handle;

(f) any item under 30 cm which looks like another object but which conceals a blade;

(g) spiked wristbands;

(h) blowguns;

(i) manually-triggered telescoping spring-loaded steel whips;

(j) morning stars or similar items consisting of a ball of metal or similar heavy material studded with spikes and connected to a handle by a length of rope, chain, wire or other flexible material;

(k) brass knuckles or similar items.

Yes sadly even blowguns.

If I was spending any significant length of time in bear country, I'd carry these three main things... my good bush knife, an old bolt action .303 and bear spray.

I'd also carry my mess kit in the open so that they'd clink and clank with every step.

And, yes, you need a licence in Canada to carry a firearm.

Ahh.

Well...Interesting bit of trivia, NV residents are targeted by Canadian LEOs specifically because we have such lax gun laws.

From what I understand though, the long gun registry in Canada has been abolished.
So perhaps now it will be easier for Canadians to obtain semi-auto weapons?

If I go to Canada on a fishing trip I take my guns. Permit be damned.

Yeah, If I lived in Canada, I would have to break the law and carry my .45 instead. Only thing that boton will do is piss the bear off.

Be prepared to declare your rifles/handguns at the border, announce your destination and intent to apply for a hunting licence if you do.

Fishing gear? No problem, as long as you also have a license.

The Ministry is 'out there' watching.

It like when I go into the Sierras here in NV. If you're not careful and you cross into California territory with an AR15 you could be arrested by rangers that have been waiting for you to cross the border.

GPS is very useful here.

Bear spray and .303

God help you if the bear spray doesn't stop him. Bolt action?

You might be right. I knew a guy with an AK47. I am not sure if it was legal though.

I don't know what the point was abolishing the long gun law, you still need to pass a safety course and get a background check, and get a license, then you need an A to B permit to transport a gun in a vehicle too I think.

If you've been, then you know the borders are a lot tighter they ever were before. Thank you Janet Napolitano. You'll also know that the Ministry are everywhere all the time, even in the backwoods of the far north.

Here is how to bring a gun into Canada. Its easier than being a Canadian with a gun.

Most bears up here are blacks... very shy of people. Just whisling while walking is enough for them to clear out of your path. The biggest danger is in being quiet and surprising one.

Polar bears, or grizzlies, on the other hand, are the opposite... completely unpredictable.

The bolt action Lee Enfield .303 is (imho anyways) the most dependable rifle in this cold country. This is why the Canadian Rangers prefer it to anything else (Google them) and I have to agree.

I wouldn't go shooting at a grizzly with non-lethal weapons. They are built to the hilt and may not even feel much. Their skull can be as thick as 4 inches in places. If nature ever built a tank, it's called the grizzly bear. Might be acceptable for black bears, but no way would I shoot that at a grizzly.

I didn't see bolos listed in the restricted no carry list.

You know throw them at the legs, trip em up, tangle em up, hog tie him, take him out with the baton.

Repeated strikes to the eyes.

You go right ahead and try that. I'm going to watch and film it so we can sell copies to pay for your full body cast.
