Woman saves herself from bear with .25 pistol

Wow! Woman stops grizzly with 25 cal. pistol...
________________________________

This is a story of self control and marksmanship by a woman with a small handgun against a fierce predator.

What is the smallest caliber you trust to protect yourself?

The Beretta Jetfire!! While out hiking in Alberta Canada with my boyfriend we were surprised by a huge grizzly bear charging at us from out of no where. 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.....

Quote from: Jeff Cooper
As we used to teach in the spook business, carry a 25 if it makes you feel good, but do not ever load it. If you load it you may shoot it. If you shoot it you may hit somebody, and if you hit somebody - and he finds out about it - he may be very angry with you.

She shot her boy friend in the knee as a sacrifice for the bear to eat.
She did not shot the bear.
HaHa!

LOL, I own a .25acp.  I figure its better than throwing a rock, and at my age a lot more accurate.  Besides, they are such cute guns!
