Unpossible! Sierra Club told me that there have been only *three documented wolf attacks on humans ever* and none since 1803!!
/sarc What?!! When they were introducing Canadian wolves to Idaho, they insisted that wolves NEVER attack humans. Why are they walking it back now? Ah, whatever. Has to be fake news.

Banff is a National Park, so no firearms allowed. Another gun-free zone.

Firearms are not allowed in National Parks; just like Yellowstone, Glacier, or the Everglades National park. It is possible to have a rifle in your car if you don't talk about it and keep it out of sight. In this instance, a spear would have sufficed. GD

"Congress approved a new law allowing loaded firearms in national parks starting Feb. 22, 2010. That means people can openly carry legal handguns, rifles, shotguns and other firearms and also may carry concealed guns as allowed by state statute." US national parks: https://www.nps.gov/grca/learn/management/upload/Firearms-in-IMRparks2-2010.pdfNot sure about Canada.

GD Dead wrong about U.S. parks, I don't know about your Canadian parks. Though a member has already posted saying they are a no-go.

Wolves have an uncanny ability to ascertain when they’re dealing with an unarmed dumbarse!
As for anyone adhering to a dumbass regulation concerning firearms not being allowed in National Parks it would seem quite appropriate that they would have their asses eaten! Same as folks stupid enough to pet bison!

FROM THE ARTICLE " ... It was like something out of a horror movie. Matt literally threw his body in front of me and the boys, and fought the Wolf as it ripped apart our tent and his arms and hands. We were screaming for help as he was fighting it and trying to save us, for what felt like an eternity (but I think was anywhere from 1-3 minutes). ..." From the description stated here, it does not seem to me that the husband would have had time to use a long gun or a handgun, even if he'd had one. In Canada guns are banned in Canadian National Parks, so the man would not have been armed anyway. Here in the U.S., maybe a man or woman might be able to bring a handgun into play but again, in that circumstance, it would seem there just would not be time, nor the space to bring one into play, especially with a couple of kids in the same tent. A rifle or shotgun would be extremely awkward in such a situation. Seems to me just a case of very bad luck, being in the wrong place at the right time. Hope the wolf did not have rabies. I hear those rabies shots are very unpleasant. L.W.

Lots of stuff wrong with that story... Lots.
Thinking they have solved the problem by killing a single wolf is a major fuggup. Obviously, the whole pack structure there has been conditioned to humans to the point they are a danger from here on out.
No gun... When are people gonna realize they are not at the top of the food chain? Either in the city, or in nature? Hey, there's lots of folks in the camp. What's the chances it's going for you. It's the same as afreakans washing clothes in the river. The crocodile only gets one every few weeks.  Hes lucky it wasn't a bear.

I know for a fact you can carry in a American National Park if you have a handgun permit.
