Only Cops Need Guns & Boy Stops Bear Attack

You know how the left says “Only Cops Need Guns” because they are professionals? We’ll consider some of the “professional” behavior of cops with guns and you make up your own mind.

Do you really need “suppressor height sights” to use a silencer on a pistol? During our Tech Talk form EOTech Inc. Professor Paul will address that question. During our Froglube ProTip, we have some feedback from one of you, an SOTG listener.

A 12 year old Wisconsin boy saved his father from a vicious bear attack. What happened and what lessons are there for us to take away from this situation?

When the round discharged, another off-duty officer was grazed in the leg.

From www.fox10tv.com:

A 12-year-old boy has shot and killed a wounded black bear as it was mauling his father near their hunting cabin in the thick western Wisconsin woods.

Ryan Beierman, 43, told the Minnesota Star Tribune that he was pinned beneath the 200-pound bruin on Sept. 6 when his son, Owen, fired a shot from the boy’s hunting rifle.

“Owen was a hero. He shot that bear and killed it on top of me,” said Beierman, who suffered bites to his forehead, arm and leg. He also needed stitches to reattach a flap of skin on his cheek that was ripped during the attack.

Earlier, he and Owen spotted the bear from a tree stand near Siren, Wisconsin, about 90 miles (144 kilometers) northeast of Minneapolis. Owen fired a shot, wounding the bear which then ran away. The pair waited about 20 minutes before starting to look for the bear and used a neighbor’s tracking dog to try and find it.
