Anchorage police officer repels black bear with Taser
Anchorage Daily News
Published: July 23rd, 2010 12:29 PM
.
A problem bear that has been frequenting Hillside homes and yards in recent weeks was subjected to shock therapy from police spokesman Lt. Dave Parker's Taser on Thursday morning.
.
After the small black bear got into a fish fryer on the porch, Parker decided to try a novel approach to deconditioning the animal to people, he said. He armed himself with a backup firearm and a personal Taser C2, which launches a 30-second burst of 100,000 volts, Parker said.
"I thought, 'Here is a wonderful opportunity to give this a test,' " Parker said. He fired out the window and hit the bear in the shoulder from about 15 feet, he said.
"The bear promptly went inverted, with feet in the air, growling and crying at the same time, flailing with his feet," Parker said. "He actually rolled off the porch."
When it was done, the bear sat up, shook his head, seemingly to regain his wits, and then bolted "faster than any bear I've ever seen," he said.
.
"Hopefully, he's associating electrification with getting into mischief in people's homes," Parker said.

Now, if that were a 350+ lb. bear, who knows??? ... Interesting idea, and as a hiker one that I've thought of.

Hate to see what would happen if a hiker tried that and instead of the bear running in fear it decided revenge would be a better idea..

Probably only one way to really find out, - that's why I carry a .357 when hiking.

Hope you got 180 gr. HammerHead's in it N P? But that taser would be a novel if not entertaining Bear story.

That taser might give you 30 sec's. but its my understanding that they are a lot faster than we and I'm they have at least as much endurance! I think I'd rather stick with the PB's and just consider it culling the herd!
