I hope he recovers without any lasting problems.

However, THAT is exactly why, when in bear country my wife and I wear our 44 Mags, in a holster, on a belt, with speed loaders when sleeping.

If a bear gets in the tent with you, and your gun is not ON YOUR PERSON, you will never find it in the "confusion.

We also keep our rifles loaded, one pointed one way one pointed the other.

You can NEVER be to safe in Bear Country.

Just ask the above fella, durring the ATTACK, HOW MUCH HE WOULD HAVE PAID FOR A PROPERLY LOADED 44 MAG.
