And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Bear Known as ‘Hank The Tank’ Terrorizes Lake Tahoe Neighborhood. Ha, this is an older story (Hank got captured and relocated) but don't get me started on Tahoe bear stories. Living is easy there for our ursine friends, way too easy.
Is Lake Tahoe populated entirely by wussies? I know lots of people who would have fired a warning shot and then a second one if necessary. I also know a couple of people who would forgo the warning shot, sell his gall bladder to a Chinese apothecary and have a bear-skin rug on craigslist shortly after. Al_in_Ottawa
California outlawed the use of hounds in hunting bears shortly after the state banned the hunting of mountain lions as a result of the clueless voting in favor of a ballot proposition supported by the Humane Society of the United States.
The citizens have no comprehension what the term 'carrying capacity' means, and I'm not sure the Department of Fish and Game (Wildlife) grasps the concept either.
Time to make some bear jerky.

Shoot a gun in South Tahoe and the authorities will be buzzing around in minutes. If a neighbor knows it's you they'll tattle.

if the PTB don't want the citizens to shoot the bear, then they should let the popo shoot the bear. Sheesh!
