Screw the handgun. A pact with the bears is better! If they don't try to put big ugly holes in me, I won't in them!
..,well except the occasional blackie for meat. Been working for me here for 48 years. So far.
When my Blackhawk burned up in a fire about 30 years ago I never replaced it. A .30-30 is more powerful, and that's my walkabout gun. I do have a Python in .357Mag that I haven't carried afield in more than 15 years. That's one of my home defense people guns... for 150 bucks used, I'm still smiling....
Not a bear gun tho, unless you stick it in their mouth. Or yours.
If you are carrying anything less than a .44Mag handgun, or even above for bear protection, be sure to file the front sight off.
Bearanoi is way over-rated. Tho I did load the '94 and park it beside the bed before I got on-line. I have fish prepping for the smoker, and there was a brownie track in the driveway this morning. If I was worried the .338WM would be out.
I may be stupid, but I ain't paranoid.
