This is a story of self control and marksmanship with an itsy bitsy shooter by a woman against a fierce predator.

What is the smallest caliber you trust to protect yourself? The Beretta Jetfire:

"While out hiking in Alberta Canada with my boyfriend we were surprised by a huge grizzly bear charging at us from out of nowhere. She must have been protecting her cubs because she was extremely aggressive. If I had not had my little Beretta Jetfire with me I would not be here today! Just one shot to my boyfriend's knee cap was all it took…….the bear got him and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace. It's one of the best pistols in my collection……..."

That's why I never go camping with anyone that can out run me........don't need to be faster than the bear if you're faster than the bait.

I guess that means you're safe to walk in the woods with your wife then, Scott.

ummmmm, yes Trey!! Master's degree and all, she's one of the smartest women I've ever met, but there's always that one time where she is just a bit naive!! But it still makes me chuckle
