[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 628812, member: 30671"] Handgun ammo has come a long way. Defense against wild animals is a cool subject, but happens so infrequently what's best will never be conclusively proven. I think BYU just published a study giving pepper spray the nod for best against bears. I don't think you are advocating the 9mm be used on bears, just putting it out there for conversation. If I'm not packing a rifle, I generally have my 9mm loaded with 147 gr Ranger +P+. I worry less about bears than I do some of the folks I encounter when I'm out. My recollection is North Carolina has produced some truly giant bears, just something to factor in. [/QUOTE]
