At best he lacks common sense, and I wonder at the wisdom of allowing someone without common sense to own a gun at all much less a hunting license. Makes me wonder what carnage occurs when there's no one around to witness.

There are too many holes in his story from ," I didn't know but I should know and I thought the troopers would shoot it ( the bear) although he shot first and asked questions later, shooting illegally near a HWY in a federal area and didn't have a state legal tag". Pure inpulse, no self control and poor judgement. Illegally shooting a bear in Alaska? Ok. Doing it in front of half the Kenai Peninsula, Priceless! Tthe young hunter should have just said sorry.
