In anticipation of the new National Parks allowing concealed carry and a personal experience with no less than THREE bear encounters while hiking/fishing, I decided to upgrade my arsenal. A present to myself for Fathers Day. This is a Colt 45 Commander that should discourage a bear from making lunch of me or my companions. Of my three encounters, ONE was particularly scary. It was then I decided that not allowing one to protect oneself from bear attack was at least nonsense and at best STUPID. When I fly fish Wyoming and it's National Parks, I hike into the remotest areas where such encounters are very possible. I intend to harm no animals unless they intend to harm me.
My other concern it this administration's inclination to disarm even law abiding citizens. The naivete in THAT is beyond MY comprehension.
