Off Season Lets Talk Guns
Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.
Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon? Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware? Part 2: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=293623 Last edited by Bearcat; 07-28-2015 at 06:06 PM.. |

And thank you every one for the feed back. I know that I'll need to confirm all this with local PD, but its good no one has come out and said "no you can't do that."

Actually it used to be in Estes Park and parks in California that you could not carry firearms. They changed that law a few years ago and I believe all State Parks must allow open-carry provided you are legally able to carry. IIRC, there is NO CCW in State Parks.

I would be less worried about bears really than anything. Just make plenty of noise while you walk, stay on trail and you should be safe. As long as you don't walk up on some cubs. Then start backtracking slow but quickly.
I'd say it's the mountain lions you have to worry about since they are sneaky-sneaky. And like I said, I've always been told a male moose in rut is the absolute last thing you ever want to encounter. I've also heard of people carrying "pepper bells" when they hike. Bears do not like capsaicin which is what is in bear spray. Take that for what it's worth. |

Which, depending on the critter of course, still isn't enough, imo. Going into bear country, I want something that will drop a bear or least give me a good chance at dropping a bear. If I can drop a bear I am probably going to be able to drop anything else, maybe.

Just go full Rick Grimes and get a Python to get every fps out of the .357.

Hydra shocks and the Critical Defense Ammo actually work pretty good..you hit something 2-4 times with that it will ruin somethings day..but I would try to go bigger if possible
