Gun Control is Completely Useless.

Pretty hard to shoot a charging Black bear center mass!

Especially when you don't have the first clue what center-body mass means.

Here, let's see if I can explain it in terms even you can understand.

You see a bear. Your vision allows you to estimate what the borders of the bear's body are, from your point of view: sitting, standing, profile, head-on, whatever.

You approximate what the center of that area you see is.

That's where you shoot. Because you're scared, rushed, and your breathing and heart-rate are elevated. You will not make a dead-on-the-line shot. Shooting center-body mass allows you to miss your ideal point of aim, and still hit.

Of course, this applies to human beings, not all y'all cool, unflappable heroes of the paper mill.

.. and you do all of this assessment in the 1-1/2 seconds before the roaring fangs at the front of the freight train heading straight for your face dig into your carotid artery ... like real, manly-men do. Cool, calm ...

But, of course, when you're a paper-mill hero, you wait til Ms. Bear is within arm's reach, then all lightining-like you jerk yer pistol outta yer customized drawing holster and clip a li'l, tiny bit of her ear with one perfectly aimed snap shot from the hip. Then when she runs away from your display of masculine Caucasian dominance, you blow across the muzzle to clear the smoke, holster it, and say "Didn't want to hurt the li'l lady none," turn to the lovely young woman in the gingham dress you just rescued in the nick of time, tip your hat and say "Ma'am," and stride away.

I saw that one! The good guy had a geetar, too and a loyal Indian sidekick who always got to ride the Paint.

Hey!


Been there, done that.


It is just our way.


LOL!!


Did 23 and Me, found out I'm 100% white guy. (England, Scotland, Scandinavia, northern Europe)


Oh....except I have an usually high number of Neanderthal markers. Too funny. Especially for my wife..........who expressed no surprize whatsoever.

I live on Vancouver Island north of Campbell River. Everyone I know works in or lives in the bush. Nobody carries a hand gun. Nobody wants a gun that is better than nothing. You want to find a hand gun you would go to a tavern in Campbell River.

That's where hand guns are appropriate.

You inhabit some forest north of Campbell River????????????????/


Well that explains why you are so FULL OF SHIT whenever you talk about things happening in a big city!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Have you EVER been east of Alberta????????????

He is full of shit about things happening in the woods on Vancouver Island too.

Sort of like your empty head Comrade Curious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That question was directed at HOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But your doofus response is likely as clever a anything he would offer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOID offers a comforting sort of consistency.................................................

You've become that desperate for material, have you?

He must be a close neighbour of Hoidie's. Unless he or Hoid or both of them are bull shitting.

I don't know where Hoidie-Toidie lives. In the West, maybe.

He says near Woss, but that seems odd. Woss is a logging community of about 200 people about 100 miles from Campbell River and 40 from Port McNeill...……….not a place the average retiree would normally settle. But straaaaaange people do straaaaaaange things.

You took a drive through there 25 years ago, doesn't that make you an expert?

Took a drive through where, Bondo?

What are you an expert on?
