.38 or Ipod when jogging in Oregon?
Stearns, 38, has seen quite a few cougar tracks during the three years he has lived on his 10-acre rural property, about 2 1/2 miles west of Highway 7.
About a year ago his wife, Mary, persuaded him to buy a .38-caliber revolver.
Stearns bought the lightest, shortest model he could find — a “police special” with a 1-inch barrel.
“It’s kind of ridiculous for target practice, but it’s easy to carry,” said Stearns, who works as an occupational therapist. “When you’re running you don’t want something heavy and cumbersome.”
Besides the gun, he bought a cougar hunting tag.
He didn’t much care if he ever killed one of the big cats.
