Stopping a attacking bear.... assuming one is not hunting bears, pre se.

If thats the case, a shotgun would be preferred, Mostly foolproof and accurate enough for close encounters, keeping in mind one is lucky to get off more than one, maybe two shots if a bear attacks.


Hunting bears is completely different and if one gets attacked while hunting bears, then I would be unquestioning their choice of recreation.

For those without thumbs, it's s Garden fookin Island, not Hawaii
