one of my neighbors had a 15ft run in with a big black bear on his front porch, bear had a chicken in it's mouth and my buddy tried to shoot it with a rubber buckshot load and his old beater shotgun misfired, he said "I told that bear to just take the to go order of chicken and leave and slammed the cabin door"
he brought the old shotgun over to me to work on, old patrol riot gun that had all the internal parts wallowed out from vibration riding on rough back roads on the butt of the gun over the years
