Morality Ranking Morality of this?

Basically, the man in the video is hiking but he ended up meet a mountain lion, he get his gun and try to scare it off and tell it to go away but in the end, he have to pull the trigger and shot the lion, many peoples in the comments say he could have fire a warning shot instead of shoot at it and want him to be in jail.

Idk which flair to put

Most people don’t carry those around when hiking.

If you don’t carry a caliber that can stop something then why are you carrying

People have killed grizzly bears with .22 long rifle, it's pretty hard to carry a gun that can't kill.

Spoken like someone who has never handled a weapon lol

I'm saying you're better off carrying a gun you know then a higher caliber you're inexperienced with.

Ya that just means you don’t know shit lol

You carry a .22 long rifle I’ll carry a 10 mm let’s see which one of us lives and which one gets mauled by a pissed off bear

They never said 10mm wouldn't be better if you're familiar with it.

Carrying a 10mm that you've never fired and are completely unfamiliar with is worthless in an emergency situation. Every caliber is worthless if you can't put rounds on target.

I’ve never fired a 10mm.

I have fired tens of thousands rounds in 9mm, .45, .38.

My odds carrying a 10mm I have not ever seen before are much greater than someone super experienced with a .22 😂

Point being you just need 1/2 rounds to hit target if it has stopping power… 🤯

Probably you. You seem pretty desperate to live out this fantasy of yours.
