Harold,

in Alaska you can have a gun with you even in a park and since 2010.
..."...
As of February 22, 2010, a new federal law allows people who can legally possess firearms under applicable federal and Alaska state law, to legally possess firearms within national parks.
Under federal law, the use or discharge of a firearm is still prohibited by applicable provisions of 36 CFR Section 2.4(a)(2)(ii) and 36 CFR Section 13.30.
Federal law also prohibits firearms in certain facilities in parks; those places are marked with signs at all public entrances. Please check with specific parks to see a list of these facilities.
It is the responsibility of visitors to understand and comply with all applicable Alaska state and federal firearms laws before entering parks. As a starting point, please visit:

I for one don't want to hear the audio. But from what i have heard from those that have heard the audio; It sounds like treadwell was trying to fend off the bear with a frying pan while yelling for his girlfriend to run away, while being attacked. that was damn heroic in my opinion. Yes I think he should have had a great big gun, but he didn't.
This drives me nuts. Not the tourists being eaten by bears, that's just NORMAL --- the fact that the government encourages people to go into provincial/territorial/federal parks in which guns are banned. HELLO! How stupid can we get here?
Just today, I was at the local gun range, and as myself and another fellow were prepping to take our targets down range, a yearling black bear came ambling down the road alongside the target berms, closing to within 200 yards of us before ducking into the trees. We waited about 20 minutes, then Range laws be damned, the 12 gauge and 308 came out, clips loaded, WITH us when we went to set our targets up. I Dare any range officer or cop to tell me otherwise when we just SAW the animals. (I will note that at our range, they DO know full well there are grizzleys and black bears running around, so enforcement of that law is, ahem, very lax.) Fortunately the critter decided not to make an appearance after that.

Yes, Timmy became a believer as the bear was munching on his spleen. He was ####house rat crazy up to that point however. He is responsible for her death in the same way he would have been if he'd doused the campsite in gas and then started playing with fireworks.
Actually it was Amie who was hitting the bear with a frying pan, not Tim.
The real audio has never been released, and is in the possession of Tim's ex girlfriend. Anything on the internet is a re-enactment, using details that were in print.

as harsh as it sounds, it was actually a good thing that fruitcake treadwell go turned into bear kibble. the last thing bears need is some jerkoff like treadwell telling people that bears are cute little critters and everyone should try living in the wilderness with them. it is sad that his stupidity resulted in his girlfriend dying, but for all we know she could have been just as brain dead as him.
a gun wouldn't have helped them. he was so far out to lunch that he probably couldn't even shoot one of his cute little bears.

LoL... Your pink pantie rant made my day. You and Mr. Kodak must have been very good friends....
I never said I don't get things wrong in the wilderness (although I rarely do, My life kinda depends on that) Mr. Kodak was a moron...
