An Alabama man whose dog was making a ruckus outside went to investigate and ended up shooting an 820-pound wild hog in his yard. He said he was concerned the hog could injure Cruiser, so he retrieved his .38-caliber revolver from inside the house and went out to the porch.

Interesting to a guy like myself who views the .38 Special as a mediocre cartridge at best.

I knew a guy, may he rest in peace, who was standing guard at a post in Alaska and ended up killing a grisly with a 1911. He said that he emptied the mag before it dropped.

I saw the story headline yesterday, was wondering what he used. I would have reached for a 12'GA or 45-70.
