[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 2215703, member: 103303"] Bean, not everyone can hit with a 44. Maybe you are a relative to Elmer Keith, but I know few people who can handle a 5lb+ handgun with confidence and competence. With all due respect, there is definitely such a this as being overgunned. As far as the ammos - you must have a porter or gun bearer on retainer to make such a statement. As far as the legal problems go, I can only speak for my experience here in Canada, but our conservation officers have been pretty understanding. Perhaps one may come under more scrutiny in a locale where bear dispatch is rare? Sometimes we even put them down before they get aggressive - if a bear is harrassing a camp, or living in a dump and loses their fear of humans, it's just a matter of time... [/QUOTE]
