Before firearms come into equation..

Pertaining to bears.

If it's brown lay down > If it's black fight back > if it's white say goodnight

If you’re anywhere you expect to see white bears and aren’t within reach of a 12 gage with slugs or better, that’s on you.

Lol. Luke Grines said he was out with a friend and the friend asked if he had a gun cuz they might see bears. Luke said he had a 9mm on him. His friend said “ok if you see a bear then shoot yourself” 😂😂
