He is either extremely unlucky, or is very good at putting himself in bad situations with bears. You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it. A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck. Liberals with guns are nothing but hypocrites.

Armchair quarterbacking not withstanding. Stuff happens on the real world. Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God!

It depends. Could be he wasn't wearing shoes, so he shot himself before he realized it was only a bare foot. Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
