We have not one, but two, grizzly bear attack stories to consider this week. A mother and her baby girl are the latest victims.  Noted outdoorsman and hunter, Jim Shockey, has something to say about it.

For our Brownells Bullet Points Guns and Gear feature, Paul admonishes you to fear not rifle. Now is a great time to build your own AR-15. We have a recommendation for advice and tutorials.

Also, during the weekly SOTG Homeroom from Crossbreed Holsters, we consider the importance of having a gun on your body. Wyoming OSHA and Fish and Game issued a report on the death of a hunting guide near Jackson. There are valuable lessons to learn.
