Title: Ex-Marine Kills 300-Pound Bear With Log
Post by: thundley4 on July 20, 2009, 06:47:59 AM: Quote
Chris Everhart just had a Father's Day he'll never forget.

(ABC News)
The ex-Marine saved the lives of his three young sons when a 300-pound bear attacked their Georgia campsite last weekend.

While cleaning up after dinner, the family came face to face with the large animal.

"From out of nowhere we heard this loud crash," Everhart said on "Good Morning America." "For a second, I didn't know what it was, but I realized it was a bear. I went to the back of the Jeep to get my pots and pans to scare the bear off."

At the same time, Everhart's 6-year-old son, Logan, tried to frighten the animal. Instead of running away, the bear turned on the boy. Logan's brother, Kyle, tried to help him.

"I threw about five rocks at the bear to keep him away," Kyle Everhart said.
Realizing his sons could be killed, Everhart grabbed a log and threw it at the bear's head, striking and killing him.

That must have been a one in a million shot to hit the bear in just the right spot.

Giant Flying Squid Invade The Waters Off San Diego
"Thousands of jumbo flying squid, aggressive 5-foot-long sea monsters with razor-sharp beaks and toothy tentacles, have invaded the shallow waters off San Diego, spooking scuba divers and washing up dead on beaches. The so-called Humboldt squid, which can grow up to 100 pounds, are native to the deep waters off Mexico, where they have been known to attack humans. Scientists are not sure why the squid are swarming off the Southern California coast, but they are concerned."

Agreed...no such thing as an "ex" marine. Former Marine is the proper term.

Ah, so all logs will have to be registered and we will have to buy concealed carry permits for them. Really big logs (assault logs) will be prohibited for the general population.

only if they're painted black, have a pistol grip or detachable ammunition supply (ie twigs that can be thrown), or are otherwise "scary-looking"
