How do you miss a grizzly bear? they are like 8 feet tall and 1200 pounds! :lol:
Yes they are, and I probably wouldn't miss, but there are a lot of people in Campbell Creek Park and I've never practiced firing a handgun while simultaneously pooping my pants! :uhoh:

Actual open carry encounter in Anchorage:

Officer: "Is that a Wilson?"

Me: "Yes it is."

Officer: "I have a Kimber myself, but on-duty I have to carry a Glock."

Me: "Sucks to be you!" (With a disarming smile.)

Officer: "You got that right! You going through Campbell Creek Park?"

Me: "Yes."

Officer: "Well, be careful. Guy got mauled by a brownie (grizzly bear) yesterday. You might think about something more powerful."

Me: "I thought about that, but I'm worried about what might happen to the round if I miss."

Officer: "That's true. Well, do whatever you think is best. Be careful. Enjoy your hike."

Well that sounds like a glaring hole in your training! :lol:

Then again, I can't imagine too many shooting ranges that would be impressed with you if you tried it...:lol:

Lol, same experience, different cannon.
LOL I've never had a negative police encounter. They've all been very polite and respectful.

Maybe because they all know you come from an LEO family.......lol.

Hang out with me sometime......LOL.

LOL Nah, they don't know that. Most cops don't know me from Billy Bob, but a hand full of the ones at Kent and Seattle know me, considering those are the two departments where I've got friends and family.
