Re: Bear defense tactics: Pros & cons of guns vs. bear spray

I will probably never be in a position to defend myself against a bear but I have heard that a pistol is no good against one. Well I have been thinking on this.

A blast of hot pepper bear spray in the bears face compared to 9 hot 45 slugs in the bears face.

Let’s see, with the 45 slugs, if the bear could still see you, he/she might have to bite you with fewer teeth, if his/her jaw still worked.

Seems to me either one would serve as a deterrent, and I have never heard of the wind blowing bullets back in the shooters face.
