when my buddy and I got jumped in South Park, one of the dudes said something like "don't make me get my gun" and reached behind his back like he was pulling one from his waist. He didn't have one.
I also heard my gf's neighbor shoot himself.
neither time did I think, this would have been better if I had a gun too.
I've thought about some kind of hand cannon for bear defense, but then realized I'm more afraid of the gun than I am of the bear.
I'd like a shotgun some day, you know, to defend myself against any insurrectionist clay pigeons.
I feel like I'd be more likely to use it knowing it's a nonlethal deterrent, especially considering the threat I'm mostly likely to encounter out on a trail would be an off-leash dog.
On one hand I wouldn't hesitate to do it if it was aggressive, but on the other, I wouldn't look forward to having the convo about how I just blasted yall's yorkiepoo, and it's yall's own fault too.
