In grizzly county it might be go big if you wanna ghance at going home.
You’re right but from what I hear it sounds like he is more concerned about wolves. A .40S&W should be sufficient in killing them, a shot fired would probably scare them away without having to shoot them but you never know. The area he’s in had the last documented human fatality from a wolf attack. It was back in 2010 but they’re still around, my uncle can hear them howling at night. I’m sure the driver has heard them too, even if he hasn’t encountered one that’s gotta be spooky.
Isn't the 23 the mid-sized 40S&W? Is that to throw at the bear and distract it so he can run away?
I believe the Glock 23 is a full size duty pistol that’s carried by a lot of law enforcement agencies. Not sure the logic in carrying a gun that’s meant to stop humans out in the wild where there are animals over twice our size. Whatever, it’s better than nothing I suppose.
Mid size. The 22 is full size
Ah okay, I’m not familiar with .40 caliber Glocks because the only Glock I own is the 19. I’m guessing the 23 is the same size as the 19.
19 is my favorite.
It’s the most popular Glock in the civilian market by far. My favorite handgun is the Ruger SR22, a little .22LR pistol. I like it because it’s dirt cheap to shoot. I take it camping and shoot that thing in the woods for hours and it only costs me cost me like $15 in ammo. 9mm Luger is around $20 for a box of 50 where I live.
Ok so we have a driver in Alaska who drives a P500 in the summer, a 4x4 pickup with a canopy in the winter, smaller than the one in Colorado who delivers near a USGS station and near the last known wolf attack location. This driver almost got attacked by a bear.
Alaska is a pretty big state. Also I don’t even know if this is true, this is coming from my 70 year old uncle who says he was the most successful bow hunter there ever was.
That he does. I give him a hard time about being the first man to kill a bear with a knife, giving birth to the Ka-Bar. He’s got some wild stories but there is usually a little truth to them. This one tho, I don’t know.You tell your uncle I said he talks to damn much and needs to mind his damn business!

That I don’t know. It’s all coming from an isolated old man. This all started when I picked him up at the airport right after work. I was still in uniform, he says “They don’t let you guys carry guns here?” I’m like what are you talking about? Are you insane? “Oh my UPS guy has to carry a gun!” Then went on with the stuff I posted here.
I would be more ready to believe it was mailmen that carried than UPS drivers. A lot of people do confuse the two.
Possible, like I was saying, I would be surprised if UPS even operated in his area.
it go big or go home
