Armed 11-year-old boy saves fishing party from charging bear

Looks like a Rem 870 from other source photos.

I work with 11 yr olds in Scouts. I am impressed the kid had the wherewithal to pull it off. I imagine he should thank his dad/uncle, and they should thank him.

(Sidenote, I just got a pic last night of my 11 yr old grandson shooting .22's at the Scout range).

What shotgun is more badass than one used to stop a charging brown bear?

Something tacticool and semi auto, what 11 year old bear slaying badass wouldn't be excited about that?

He's earned an M4 Super 90 and an expenses paid weekend class with it and his 870, IMO. What better way to follow up for an 11yo bear slayer with steely nerves and good aim in a crisis...? Build on that innate skill... I'd have given most anything for that, at that age, with parental accompaniment if legally necessary, and a that jazz. Kid has skills. Give him more.

I'd donate money to that cause, if legit.

Damn, kid!
