Firearms can often save lives in situations when people find themselves faced with aggressive wild animals such as bears, mountain lions and bobcats. Anti-gun politicians from metropolitan areas may not be conscious of such dangers faced by law-abiding gun owners in rural regions. Proposed gun-control laws could potentially impact citizens’ abilities to protect people and domestic animals from creatures of greater strength in dangerous encounters.

“I think I would have been able to give it a warning shot and hopefully it would have ran off. That’s what I kind of take from all of this. When I go into the field now, I need to make sure I have my sidearm,” the man said.
So, that's it, huh? A warning shot.
People, that term shouldn't exist in your lexicon, nor in your holster. You carry a firearm to physically stop aggression, not to holler "BOO!" with it and hope the threat goes away. |

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
