The lady who saved the child is a hero and it should be what we all do but sadly most just pull out their phones and record so they can upload and be popular.
She is awesome and the kind of people you want around you.
Matt in Oklahoma! What a stark contrast between the heroic actions of this woman and the cowardly actions of so many others… Our world needs REAL heroes and heroines, and people need to know what makes for these. Your post resonated with me as I read it, and I have the feeling this will also be true for many other members of the SB community.
In the bear country article: When we work LTL (Less Than Lethal) is always covered by a Lethal Force Option.
In this case the Bear Spray user should be covered by a firearm user. If it’s only “one or the other” then the firearm might be the better option if you have the survival mindset.
It is possible to hold a firearm and spray though I question if that is the best practice and/or if you have practiced that.
Our little valley in the middle of Idaho has been covered in smoke for days with ash raining down on everything. The closest fire is 20 miles away and the winds are changing. I always had a Go Bag and made sure everyone in my family had one, but… LOL when I moved to the area I’m in now, I felt so safe that I didn’t put together a Go Bag. So, I will do that today.
Not taking my own advice is pretty lame!!
Prayers for your safety!
