Hey NE, That is great. I would love to have seen that shotgun. Actually it might not be as crazy as it seems. I have heard of others with bayonets - though I am not sure if any of them were on dbl shotguns like the one you saw. I think I have also run across a story of someone who actually did save his bacon by using his bayonet during a lion charge. I don't know how much luck a person could have trying to pin a leopard to the ground, but I can definitely see at least being able to divert his leap. It's really funny to think of some of the devices and inventions that leopards have inspired. Boy, leopards are something ELSE! If I had one flying through the air at me, I don't believe that there is anything I would not be willing to try!
