I think the point SBTCO was making was that he feels handguns are effective in deterring attacks, and that people can make hits with them under pressure. I am not knocking the article because the bears weren't always killed when shot, especially with a .22 LR. I am 100% a .223 Rem guy for deer but I see attacking bears as a different situation.
My point was that the article was terribly written and wasn't always about 'attacks', nor was it edited for clarity or quality control, so I really have to wonder what else it got wrong or didn't mention???
