Bear attack /handgun article

[ohoopee]

Forgive me if this has been posted. Interesting article on handguns and bear attacks.
The gentleman provides specific attack info at the bottom of article.

I am not suggesting one method of bear prevention is more effective than another.
I was more interested inthe number of attacks and the circumstances surrounding
bear confrontations.

Update: Handgun or Pistol Against Bear Attack: 93 cases, 97% Effective

Three failures out of 93 cases where guns were used to defend against bears translate to a 97% success rate for the use of guns against bears.

Better than pepper spray it seems, but I carry both. I’m only dealing with blackies tho.
