Default Next mod...? Or a travel companion...?

I have a few extra bucks to burn. I want to buy a new bumper with a stinger. Eventually getting a wench. But then, my friend calls me and tells me he is selling his .40 glock. I never take a pistol with me camping or wheeling. I've been told I really should, especially with bears (in colorado).

I can't make up my mind and a coin flip won't work. What do y'all think? New front bumper with a stinger or a .40 glock?

I'm a gun guy as well as a jeep guy!
If you don't own a good carry pistol then buy it!!
There will always be bumpers... With the ever increasing anti-gun reform out there.. Ya never know....

Chop the bumper for now and go with the gun. Bumpers are nice but a bear isn't frightened by them.

Already chopped the bumper. A .40 cal should make a bear think twice. At least a few well placed rounds.

The Glock will always be a returnable
Investment ! ( hold value vs bumper ) Let alone more Exciting as well protecting. I'm a gun guy & a new Jeeper .... & let's just say the gun safe continues to grow & the jeep sadly remains stock ;( so I'm biased !!!!! My vote though !!!

jeeps and guns, most be a common thing. I take a .357 mag when I go camping. If you are going to carry a .40 be sure to really learn how to place shots or you may just piss off a bear. As with jeeps the operator mod is the first and best mod you need.

I agree with Outlaw. Go for the wench first then the Glock!

If a bear is attacking, you don't have to outrun the bear, just your wench! And it's easier if you pop a .40 in her knee.
