12 g non-leathal and bear bangers and flares

No worries. I had a case of 12ga bangers come in last month but they sent me the ones for those pen flareguns by mistake. Sent them back, waiting for more.
 
Just a simple opinion, but if you have to defend yourself with a gun,... bear bangers might be a bit too late... full load double 00 buck shot, or bird shot to the head may just save you from being dinner.;)

sure you carry the regular ammo, but its more for black bears, where they are more curious then anything and you cant kill one unless in mortal danger in a provincial park. More for the situation I had in the summer, where my food is all locked up, and the black bear comes in at 2 am and starts eating my dishes and nocking over my stove and lantern, so to prevent further damage, just load a bearbanger in the tent and come out and pop one off and the bear runs.
Not in mortal danger, just pissed that my dishes and latern are distroyed at 2 am and being woke up.
Plus, othe situations, say you come accross a bear in the spring, backwoods camping, and its not that scared of you, then you notice the cubs, well you know the bear will be more aggressive because of the cubs and being in protective mode. You could easily have a proble, and the cubs are more curious and can come over to you. a banger will send the whole family running and no need to orphin a few cubs.
My gun will have regular ammo, the bangers are just a secondary non lethal back up, that if you have time, load one in.

As already said, for non leathal rounds just fire a slug into the ground. You won't get the chance to change from bangers to slugs in a situation where seconds count. Don't fool around with your life, get a 12ga with slugs. Don't worry about what the environmentalists and animal rights fools will think, because they don't give a s**t about your life either way.

I hear you, if need be I have no issue putting something down, me or the animal, I shall win. But in instances where I can prevent having to go leathal, Id rather if I can.
Id rather not kill for no reason, unless hunting, but if I can send a bear the other way with no issue, Id rather do that.

can you message me Chemist when you get a chance, so I can reserve the non lethal, bangers and such, so I have a chance before you put it all on the site.
I missed the shotgun you marked down, while I was contemplating it, and then it was all gone.
 
Checked crappy tire, they have nothing and looked at me strange when I asked, they didn't even have 223 ammo except that high price varmit stuff. When I asked them about flares they showed me road flares, grrr.
Hurry Chemist, I need ammo and you out of everything I want!!!
 
If anyone is interested, I have found a limited amount of bangers and flares locally. pm if your interested ans I'll let you know details
 
Some army surplus places stock the bangers and flares. Do a google of them and check the online catalogues. They have branched out into camping gear. Mind you, I don't remember what their prices are like. They could be more expensive than what you get from the sponsors in here.
