With a bow.
Certifiable, but then so are most of my friends.
We were in heavy bush so I carried a .50 revolver. I know they'll stop an angry boar. Didn't feel the need for a rifle with 30 rounds.

Killing an animal is hunting, not a game, not a sport. The human has the unfair advantage. I am not against hunting, I am only against calling it a sport.Agreed...that;s why we have sporting rifles and hunting rifles. Some -can- pull dual purpose....but they're generally inferior to other specific actions. An AR-15..for example..is a sporting rifle. Best employed, and largely chambered, to shoot at paper targets on a range. You know...I've always wondered why we couldn't insist that sporting rifles remain in storage at the range, while we allow hunting rifles to be securely stored at home. It would seem like the things so useful for sport shooting are best kept in a place that's been designed with those specific risks in mind.
There's an idea that actually would lead to fewer mass shootings, or at least change their venue from schools to the shooting range.....where they belong.
