Now I feel a little silly that I complained about the squirrels and the deer moving into my neighborhood. Now it's bears. Great. I guess with global warming and rising oceans, the sharks will be here next...

So, remember to pack your .44 Mag if you go out for a walk. Oh wait, this is Jersey where the powers to be pay no attention to the 2nd amendment, (or for that matter the rest of the Constitution) so no guns allowed.
Well then I guess you’ll just have to pack your cell phone and call 911. Good Luck with that!

Just the fact that being allowed or NOT to have a gun in NJ was brought up, makes me glad I live in NJ! Maybe you live in the wrong state. I'd rather come in contact with someone carrying a cell phone than a gun!
