And with that new .45ACP, you can shoot at the attacking bears. Not likely to stop them,

Nah, not enough penetration. He needs a .44 magnum or a 12ga. slug/flare gun.

I imagine we have all accumulated a 12 ga flare gun or 3 over the
years. (the boaters anyway). I am thinking about buying a few packs of
the pepper rounds, just for a less than lethal way of dealing with out
of line people.



I'm sure you encounter lots of people like that, and the flare gun will
help you stand your ground. Hey, it's Florida...what could go wrong?

The only places I was ever shot at were in DC or PG County


In this country, I've only been shot at in the south. I've never had any
problems anywhere I've gone in DC or PG County, and I've been all over
both. One of my clients is a major funder of housing rehab projects in
Anacostia, so I am frequently there to get info for website feature
stories. Maybe it was your attitude.

I bet you were safely back in your suburban home by dark.


Sometimes, sometimes not. I've been to parties at private homes in some
"iffy" neighborhoods in DC. Many years ago, my personal physician was
shot and later died outside his DC home, which was in a very good
neighborhood. The shooter lived in the toniest neighborhood in suburban
Virginia.
