[QUOTE="Troutslayer2, post: 411896, member: 25190"] I am not so sure that a sidearm would have prevented that bear attack in the middle of the night in a crowded campground in Yellowstone. I hardly ever carry, but usually I will have bear spray. I actually had to draw on a griz once (.44 SuperRedHawk, 10 Feet!, didn't have to shoot it), but I still feel as safe with bear spray. This is a thread on a boating forum debating on if it's better to bring a .223 or a .45 on a float trip for bear defense. If you read it you will see that there are plenty of complete idiots out there. All I need is to be in a campground when some ******* opens fire with a .223 because a bear is raiding his cooler.
