Yikes Stan! Crazy.

Similar situation last week, replace the cougar with two grizzly bears! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

I will be sure to pack the pistol when I am waiting for the school bus with the kids!

It pisses me off that I live where we have wolves ,bears ,cougars ,lynx etc but no one is allowed firearms in their vehicles or on their person unless legally hunting or on the way to or from the range(no you can't make any stops). If you were a Canadian you would have had to hit it with your prosthetic leg.

Thought the dogs would enjoy this:
So I get home tonight from the gym at about 630 and here in Washington it is dark then, So I park my car in the guyrage (yes I spelled that right) go to my work truck in the driveway to gut the pistol that I left there, grab it and head to the mailbox.
As I head to the mailbox I shine my G2L across the street into the woods and see some glowing eyes, so naturally I throw a couple of stones his way to get some movement (thinking it is the large buck that has been hanging around here) nothing, no movement, no eye movement not anything!
I think to myself "thats odd self" as I get closer I think to myself I can see both of his eyes .... at the same time, hint NOT A DEER, as I walk within 20 or so feet I see the large white ghest of the Cougar staring at me never loosing eye contact it hits me what I am looking at and I imediatly feel my heart beat increase to a very fast pace (bump bump bump)2 very big very close very green eyes looking at me from 20 feet!
I rapidly ( as rapidly as a 1 legged man can)back my butt back up the driveway never breaking eye contact with this very large creature up to my house and from there I watch him for 20 minutes sneaking around in the brush.
I don't know what his intentions were but I am thinking that he was looking at me like a starved carton chatacter that had been marooned on an island for a long long time.
Long story short it scared the crap out of me!
Did I mention that I imediatly pulled my .357 out from my waist and put the CT laser on the left eye as I backed up.
SCARY
Anyone else have something like this happen to them?
I would have felt better if I had my DF in hand. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />
