Hi Philip, Backcountry veterans offer this piece of advice to those proposing to use handguns (Glocks, .375 magnums, whatever)against grizzly or polar bears: Be sure to file the front sighting notch off. This is so that it won't hurt quite as much when the bear shoves it up your, um, er, stern compartment hatch. >From another Philip Philip Torrens "The opinions expressed in this posting are not necessarily those of my employer, or indeed, of any sentient being." **************************************** Mountain Equipment Co-op 1655 West 3rd Avenue, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6J 1K1 Tel: 640-732-1989 Fax: 604-731-6483 email: pid_at_mec.ca Visit our website at: http://www.mec.ca ***************************************** *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Sep 02 1998 - 12:19:12 PDT
