Likely again and again. It's not even about griz or being bear aware anymore. It's all about how fast I can "skin that smokewagon" and shoot 'em 'tween the eyes.
I often wonder how many of these obviously proficient pistoleros have even seen a griz on the ground and recognize the power and...
I can certainly see that as well. However, as someone watching, questioning, learning, experiencing, then beginning to support AP since its inception, that above is something I have never heard, read, or attributed to AP. It seems the AP spokesperson twenty years ago did not choose his words...
