What is the smallest caliber you trust to protect yourself?

This is a story of self control and marksmanship with an itsy bitsy shooter, the Beretta Jetfire, by a woman against a fierce predator.

Listen to one woman's story, Betty-Sue Wollachuk of Badger Creek, Saskatchewan explains:

"While out hiking in Alberta, Canada with my boyfriend, we were surprised by a huge grizzly bear charging at us from out of nowhere.
She must have been protecting her cubs because she was extremely aggressive.
If I had not had my little Beretta Jetfire with me I would not be here today!"

"Just one shot to my boyfriend's knee cap was all it took??the bear got him and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace."

"It's one of the best pistols in my collection??..."

I never go hiking unless I know a fellow hiker is slower than me. The 25 cal. is an option though.

Looking at my knees, they must be deserving of at least a .38 . She must like scrawny dudes.

Nothing like having an equalizer.

I don't have to outrun the bear ... I just have to outrun you. ;)

So me and my hunting partner have been thinking of going on a Kodiak Grizzly bear bow hunt on Kodiak island Alaska, we talk about this all the time, but eventually it comes down to who will stab the other in the leg first....

This is so sad. He should have taken her and offered her to the bear as a token of peace. I mean isn’t it women and children first anyway? :lol:

I don't believe it. Hand guns are not allowed to be carried in Canada except for LEOs.

True or not... being an ex-LEO I rather appreciate the humor!!

The boyfried should have known better than to date any girl named "Betty-Sue" who's packing heat.
