Marine Clubs Bear

I like to camp.  As soon as we think the baby will be big enough, we intend on going camping.  But do I have to bring a firearm along?  I don’t think I can kill a bear with a tree log.

From AP here:

A camping trip to Low Gap Camp Grounds turned into a harrowing experience for Chris Everhart and his three sons when they tangled with a 300-pound black bear. 

The bear had taken the Everharts’ cooler and was heading back to the woods when 6-year-old Logan hurled a shovel at it.

I can see that.  “Bad Bear!  You go home!”

Fearing what might happen next, the Norcross father and ex-Marine grabbed the closest thing he could find — a log.

“(I) threw it at it and it happened to hit the bear in the head,” Chris Everhart said. “I thought it just knocked it out but it actually ended up killing the bear.”

Everhart was fined for not securing his food.
