DM, good to see you've got things straightened out and got back on the bb.I agree, the responses from some of the "guru's" with their "vast knowledge" was almost laughable.Newfy slug?, gimme a break, whose the retard?
I guess some people don't realize that self-defense can and does come into play when wild animals are involved. If in a self defense mode you use whatever is handy, anything from a pocket knife to an elephant gun, you just happened to have a 12 guage. I don't blame you,I'd have done the same thing,of coarse some guys might try to figure out the ballistics and ethics before defending themselves
