You laugh, but State surveyors have started carrying .45 Glocks. And
one of the local engineering firms have their surveyors carry 9mm
Glocks when they are working in the woods.

Nothing to do with mountain lions though. :)


They think they are going to stop a mountain lion in any meaningful
manner with a 9mm?


Maybe they view 9mm in the same way as some police departments: Shoot many,
many rounds, miss with most, hope the noise gets the target under control.
