I stand by my statement in its entirety. Wearing gloves in any situation where dexterity is critical may be a contendable point, but "fumbling" with a safety is not... Having had the pleasure on more than one occasion of trailing wounded bears and having had two bears die touching me I think I have a clue what goes down. I also think I have had enough time thinking real hard about it to understand some, if not most, of the risks.

The risks inherent in a fool with a hot chamber and safety off greatly outweigh anything a bear might do. Bears usually have sense enough to try to escape.
