PLEASE NOTICE WEBSITE WHERE THE BELOW ARTICLE IS SITED FROM REGARDING MY MOST RECENT POST:
http://standbyliberty.org/2010/06/1...egal-to-carry-the-gun-but-illegal-to-fire-it/
ALSO SORRY, I WASN'T TRYING TO DELVE INTO THE POLITICS; I WAS JUST TRYING TO FIND THE ARTICLE(I SORT OF FOUND BOTH). IN MY VIEW ONCE THEY ASCERTAIN ITS SELF DEFENSE ITS CASE CLOSED(PROBABLY JUST PROCEDURE) BUT BOTTOM LINE IF THATS MY DAD HE IS BEAR FOOD(ONE LAST POINT: IF THE LAW HADN'T BEEN CHANGED ON PARKS ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, THESE TWO OR @ LEAST ONE WERE ALSO BEAR FOOD). THERE IS A REASON WHY CCW IN ALSAKA REQUIRES NO PERMIT AND HOPEFULLY SOME MEDIA WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS A VALID REASON BEHIND CCW NOW BEING ALLOWED IN US NATIONAL PARKS

Keep that link in your minds eye. Over the Memorial Day weekend I found an interesting story that once again demonstrates just how anti-gun and how inefficient the federal government is and can be. The headlines went like this “Backpacker shoots, kills grizzly in Alaska park”. Needless to say it got my attention and I decided to look into it a bit. What I found is amazing.
According to Denali National Park spokeswomen Kris Fister a man and a woman reported they were hiking on Friday, May 28th and evening was closing in. While doing this they reported that a Grizzly Bear emerged out of what is called “trail side” brush and charged the woman. The man with her drew his weapon and fired nine rounds from his 45acp pistol. The report stated that the bear stopped and walked back into the woods. Being more than a little shaken the couple went to the park rangers immediately and reported what happened.
The next day which was Saturday, the park officials went to the location where the hikers claimed the incident took place and found the bear dead about 100 feet from where the shooting occurred. So far I’m in the game, here is where it gets weird. The incident is under investigation, investigate what? The key is that while it is legal to now carry a gun in the park, its illegal to shoot it. Hello? This park, Denali is in Alaska, they have big old bears in Alaska. By the way, I am very pro anything that helps animals without hurting people.
The new federal law recently signed took effect a couple months back and in that law it provides for people to be able to carry a firearm in a national park as long as they are complying with the state law in which the park is located. More or less, if you have a permit to carry and state X honors it, you are covered in the park. Here is the strange thing, if this was a person that had been shot instead of a bear think about this, you have two witnesses and the assailant is dead. Unless you find ballistics that cast doubt on their stories how much of an investigation can you do as long as they stick to their story about the incident? As long as you found the attackers weapon, the shooting is going to be found justified and this is a person, not an animal. The bear was obviously well armed and posed a threat.
What this shows is that the left in this country that dominates things like national parks, have more money than brains. A man shot an animal that was about to attack his female companion, his weapon is far from an ideal hunting weapon let alone a bear hunting weapon. They are both lucky to get out unscathed. But somehow we need to “investigate” the incident. Give me a break. The reason they have more money than brains is because its your money.

I am astounded that they need to do an investigation on this. It is not like the man shot the bear just for kicks and giggles, he was defending another human life. Sometimes I think they the powers that be have too much time on their hands.

They do have way to much time on their hands. The sad part is that as taxpayers we are supporting their actions.
