I can't imagine the scenario one would envision where a .380 is the answer.

I once had a well known firearms instructor tell me, "I wouldn't carry a .380 in my ass even if I had enough room for a canoe up there".

What's a .380?
 
Reading that article was frustrating. Granted, I’m not a musher, as she says, but to say no musher would ever carry a rifle or large caliber gun because all the jostling would easily make it go off, and then to say “It’s not that I wasn’t prepared. I wasn’t prepared to kill a moose, that’s correct.” It then goes on to say she has since gone on to upgrade to a larger caliber (what about it going off easily?)

You would think growing up in Alaska in the outdoors would aid in not being ignorant…
 
She needs to stick to nursing. She obviously doesn't know WTF she's doing as a sled driver in a wilderness area.
 
Moose stomping dog teams or snow machines is not uncommon when the snow is deep. The moose like walking on the packed trail and don’t like to yield the right of way. I once thought I was going to have to take on a cow moose with a 22 pistol but luckily she backed off after about a minute.
 
It's animal

She should have been on a snowmobile and left the dogs at home? I know I would have. LOL
 
Some other reports mention a gun, but not the type or caliber.
IMHO, she had the .380 for protection from two legged predators.

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
