Via Glenn, I’ve just been informed that an eight-foot long mountain lion was spotted today some 400 yards or so from my apartment. I shall spend much of tomorrow “acting large, standing up tall, waving my arms, and making noises,” just in case.

That’s all very well, but should the worse come to the worst, a heavy-caliber sidearm would be so much more persuasive.
Could you send it to my neighborhood, please? I have some
Harvard Gradsvermin here I need to haveeateneliminated.I agree with Francis. Having John Moses Browning for a conpanion is definately a plus. I bring him along whenever I visit the outdoors where big predators roam.
And don’t forget to tell the cat as the Ranger told the Kindergarden class to sa “Stop, I’m not part of your food chain.” This will obviously stoop any anti-social behavior of the cat.
My advice, carry a boat horn.
One shot in front of the mountain lion will probably make it turn tail and run. But there’s a reason for high capacity magazines, in case the mountain lion has poor eyesight, and mistakes you for a deer.
Are you sure it wasn’t a disgruntled Hillary Clinton supporter, aka, a PUMA? =^[.]^=
