The bottom line is that the average person is better off with bear spray than with a firearm. Bear spray has been found by both U.S. Wildlife folks and their counterparts in Canada to be more effective and safer than trying to use a weapon against a bear.

Thats NOT what that study stated unless you only read the uppermost portion. And as one responder stated...he would rather take a chance protecting himself with a firearm than by using "spray" that can even be blown away by a moderate wind.

While I personally believe that "protecting" onseself from a bear using a handgun is futile..almost laughable....when "he" is chewing on my leg...Im pumping 6 or 7 rounds in him at that close of distance
