I called Surplus Ammo and Arms in Lakewood just to see if they had any sp101's. Just my luck they had three. Two new ones and one used one. I jump in the car and drive down there and their prices were right where they should be on the 2 new ones, so I asked to see the used one. I was quite surprised when they brought out a 10 year old sp101 with all the original papers and box. It did not even appear to have been fired much at all. Infact there was only a little powder residue on one of the cylinders. And there price was only $380 :IBCOOL: I bought that for my wife, it never hurts to make the woman happy.
You would think that my gun deal luck had just been used up, but not so. The next day at the Puyallup WAC gunshow I found a S&W 629 CLASSIC, 44mag, 6 1/2 inch barrel with a shoulder rig, two speed loaders, and 110 rounds of ammo. And what you might ask did I have to pay for this very nice revolver? $600 out the door. :IBCOOL:
I wish I could afford weekends like that all the time.

Ohh thats right some people only hunt this state, so I guess your always fine then.
If your confident in your shooting it doesn't matter what state you are in.

lol, whatever. didn't know we had bullet proof bears in this state.
I seem to recall a bit of a stink over a particular grizzly that got taken down in a park with a 45acp not too long ago...
The link is bad, I couldn't find one that was still good.

Backpacker shoots, kills grizzly in Alaska park
Associated Press
Last update: May 31, 2010 - 11:14 AM
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A backpacker shot and killed a grizzly bear with his handgun in Alaska's Denali National Park, officials said.
A man and woman reported that they were hiking Friday evening when the bear emerged from trailside brush and charged the woman, park spokeswoman Kris Fister said in a statement.
The man fired nine rounds from his .45 caliber, semiautomatic pistol at the animal, which then stopped and walked into the brush.
The two reported the shooting to rangers, who restricted access to the Igloo Canyon area for fear that the bear was wounded and dangerous.
On Saturday, rangers found the dead bear about 100 feet from the shooting site.
Park officials are determining the justification for the shooting. It's legal to carry firearms in that area of the park but illegal to discharge them.
Rangers said it was the first known instance of a grizzly bear being shot by a visitor in the wilderness portion of Denali, formerly called Mount McKinley National Park.
