I recently just read about the 458. What are the specs on that round? Is it like a .45-70, or is that two different animals altogether? Have you taken anything with it yet?

He already killed a bear and legally could not carrie a gun. About 5 years ago a boy that hunts with them was bite in the head and took 30 staples and almost lost his eye. They were training dogs and again could not have a gun with them. I never been with them but most of the people in their group manly use revolvers in 454 casually, my cousin uses a Taurus raging bull in 480 ruger.
Why could they legally not carry a firearm? Which state is this?

I'm glad that boy wasn't hurt any worse!!
