As I was packing up my crap to head back to Helena today, my wife said, when you are down in Helena, look around for a shotgun for me(as I wrenched my back standing up to quickly, as I must have heard something that sounded like, "buy a gun").
Turns out the little incident she had last week with the dog fighting a mountain lion off in the darkness in the woods, of course while I was here in Helena, freaked her out a little. She said, is there a way to have a flashlight on the gun? She said that holding the spotlight and trying to figure out an AR-15 was just too much. I said, why yes, I will see what I can do. (hee hee hee, big grin headed out the door)
Yeah, it was about 10:00 at night, I was on the phone with her, she said she was letting the dogs out one more time before heading to bed. Kids were in Eureka with the grandparents for spring break. She had just got out of the tub or something. She just starts screaming, Pasha come, Pasha come, something is killing Pasha!!! I am yelling to put the phone down, get the spotlight and the gun and get down there, its probably a lion. All she can say, while she is fumbling with the gun is, "I don't have any pants on!". All I can say is "hurry up". Again, "I don't have any pants on....". "Get your ass down there!", I yell again.
So she is headed down the driveway with the spot light,(I guess, I am in Jefferson City waiting for a return call), she is screaming at the dog, which finally comes from behind the camper, she can hear something in the tree, screaming back. Grabs the dog and heads back to the house.
I finally get the call back, at the picture of my pasha dog's nose cut open. Has some other punctures and small cuts, but not bad actually. He is hopped up. He is really hard to check for injury because he is Pyrennes/shepher/wolf mix, and that fur is so thick you can't believe it. It all ended well, and was a far cry from something killing Pascha, although I am sure it sounded like it.
Bottom line is, she wants a gun with a flashlight on the end. So the question is, do I go with the 870 or the mossy 500?
