    Yep being 20 feet away from a bobcat will probably make you reassert things. Also having a handgun pointed at you as well. And hearing a ricochet of a bullet right in front of you.

    I’m not saying a gun helps in all those situations but it definitely changes your available options.

      Bobcats are relatively ok, maybe you meant cougar (mountain lion) or wolverine? The latter is especially nasty

        Been a while, coulda been a cougar just happy it announced its presence versus decided my neck looked tasty.
