[QUOTE="SansSouci, post: 1227669, member: 84520"] OooooooooohKay! While I've never been charged by any bear, I'd keep shooting my rifle. If I were able to get off only 2 rounds before the bear were on me, how do you think I'd be able to reach for a handgun? I've seen what a 7MM Rem Mag will do to HUGE elk. I'm skeptical of anyone trying to tell me that at torso or thorax hit of a 7MM Rem Mag to a griz won't slow it down if not outright kill it. There are pretty darn powerful handgun rounds. Just a few can shoot them. Even fewer can shoot them with accurate follow-up shots. Hence, a hunter might be carrying a 5 pound de facto single shot handgun. I'll go with a rifle. I'm good with your carrying a handgun all day long. Before you go there, please allow me to caution you to not attempt to refute a rule by citing an exception. That'd be logical fallacy. "Yeah, well, I know a guy who knew a guy whose cousin was married to a truck driver who picked up a hitchhiker whose sister was mauled by a 200 pound black bear after it took 10 solid hits from a .375 H&H Magnum. She finally killed it with a .22 LR revolver." [/QUOTE]
