Concealed Carry In MY ASW27

Oh perfect. How many glider pilots have had a land out and then successfully fought off polar bears with. Pistol? That is what I thought. I bet I am one of the only pilots on this group to actually have an emergency landing (NiCad run away) then get stalked by a wild animal (mountain lion). The only thing I would have changed is to have a flashlight capable of white light..

Some really good pepper spray would help, too.Â* I took a whiff once just
to see...

Just food for thought:
The National Park Rangers are advising hikers in Glacier National Park and other Rocky Mountain parks to be alert for bears and take extra precautions to avoid an encounter.
They advise park visitors to wear little bells on their clothes so they make noise when hiking. The bell noise allows bears to hear them coming from a distance and not be startled by a hiker accidentally sneaking up on them. This might cause a bear to charge.
Visitors should also carry a pepper spray can just in case a bear is encountered. Spraying the pepper into the air will irritate the bear's sensitive nose and it will run away.
It is also a good idea to keep an eye out for fresh bear scat so you have an idea if bears are in the area. People should be able to recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear scat.
Black bear droppings are smaller and often contain berries, leaves, and possibly bits of fur. Grizzly bear droppings tend to contain small bells and smell of pepper.
