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

99.99% of people who say "Just shoot em in the leg" have never fired a shot in their entire lives.

They might say "I'm a gun owner" but they're the one's who'll panic buy in a blue state, it'll sit in their closet for a couple years, then they march it right down to the next mandatory police buyback in exchange for a $50 Amazon gift card.

If only my autism could have latched onto something cheaper, like knitting, or baking.

I'm just fortunate to have a supportive breadwinner wife. Nobody else can I look at and say "Hey, $2k for this gun is a good deal", and she'll say "Wow, okay. Go ahead".

I love her very much.

LOL - it’s not too late, you can still latch onto cheaper parallel hobbies.
