The female musher didn't carry a long gun because it could go off with the jostling of the sled? Oh really?
She was aware enough to carry a firearm because of animal problems. But in bear and moose country, she decided that a .380 was all she needed?
Sure, she emptied the whole .380 mag into the moose, but IT'S A .380!!
No word on what her "more substantial caliber" choice was.
Sheesh.

.380? And here I thought Darwin precluded idiots in Alaska....I can hear Gene Wilder in the first 'Mongo' scene in Blazing Saddles saying "Don't do that, you'll only make him angry".....

My understanding is a Moose usually wins vs. a Car... Yes the Moose can get hit with a Car, total the car, and then the Moose just gets up and walks away. The Alaskan's I know carried much bigger "bear guns".
