Idaho governor pulls off gloves on wolves
How this relates to gun rights is a no-brainer. Hunting despite what some of the gun rights purists insist really is part of the gun rights puzzle, and even Justice Antonin Scalia made that clear in his Heller majority ruling in 2008. Gun rights also involve self-defense, and that includes self-defense against animals. Anybody wanting to dispute the fact that wild animals arent dangerous should take it up with Bellevue City Councilman John Chelminiak, who was mauled by a black bear at his Lake Wenatchee vacation cabin, or with the family of Robert Boardman of Port Angeles, who was killed by a mountain goat the other day in Olympic National Park. Wolves killed a teacher last winter in Alaska, and a few years ago, killed a man in Canada. It seems to surprise newcomers to the Pacific Northwest that once you get off the pavement around here, you're in the wilderness and there are places where there is no such thing as "9-1-1."
