I mean to carry a shotgun when I get to grizzly territory. I'm sure downtown Anchorage or Fairbanks would be okay, but when I get out in the country, I'll probably have a Mossberg in a BOB trailer. Bears, alligators and mountain lions are just scary, because they ignore how pretensious humans are and still see us as food. Very humbling.
