Hunting
Yes, that would definitely be one of the many, many better arguments for guns than ‘protection against bears and mountain lions.’
Tbf I carry a rifle any time I go in the woods damn near.
I love nature but am terrified of bears and I want a big firecracker, if it comes down to trying to use it on a bear that wants to fight I am probably already fucked and I know that.
If it makes you feel more secure, I won’t judge you, but you should know that-

Statistics like this are bunk. If I’m camping in the forest my chances of having a bad encounter with a bear are astronomically higher than drowning in a bathtub. Context is everything when it comes to your specific risk profile.
Except your chances of having a bad encounter with a bear are almost zero. Because bears almost never attack humans. Which is the point.
Oh I recognize that it is completely irrational.
It is just a childhood fear that I can’t beat.
Fair enough. Like I say, I’m not judging you. If that’s what you need to feel secure, that’s what you need to feel secure.
I don’t mean it that way, I was just acknowledging that I know it doesn’t make sense. lol
An activity where you would definitely supervise the child, not send them off on their own on a bus.
Dawg there are so many ways to hunt that don’t involve a bang.
Hey man, not cool to talk about my dating experience that way.
Manlier ways to hunt. That’s how you get to them. Guns are for sissies, bows are for real men.
I have both and they both have their advantages and disadvantages.
I prefer my rifle because it has a much much higher chance of a clean quick kill.
Personally if you are willing to let an animal suffer more to be more “manly” you were never manly at all.
I don’t do either. I’m primarily vegetarian because I know I wouldn’t want to kill an animal irl so I just generally avoid meat all together.
I know, I own those too.
My bow may be twenty years old but it kills just as good now as then.
