Recall reading an old car magazine story...writer visiting relatives in Alaska. Going fishing with a 16 year old nephew. Before leaving the home, the nephew grabbed a 1911. Writer asked why. Kid simply said: "Bears". Writer thought the kid was being dramatic, a put on. Returning with a nice mess of trout. the kid's mother began chewing on him...for not taking at least the 30-06 rifle!
A bit of education about Alaska life for the writer...
