[QUOTE="biff's reloading, post: 2422054, member: 6078"] That's 1 of the 73 documented handgun cases in this link I posted earlier. Scroll down and read through some/all the cases if you can. You'll notice that at NO time did a handgun "make the bear madder" as so many lefty bearspray articles tout astruth. In fact, even the cases when the shooter never hit the bear, only 1 time did the bear continue the attack, while there are numerous cases when spray missed (and some when spray actually hit!) and the attack either continues/escalates, and more than once a gun had to be used to end the battle. Statistically, you are safer with a handgun with BLANKS (bullet didnt hit bear) than a can of spray. Think about that if "nonlethal" is important to you. Saying spray is more effective than bullets is exactly like saying a rape whistle is more effective than a gun, and the bear cant even take your gun and use it against you like a rapist might Also, notice that most cases the bullet placement was not in the head, but all the bears stopped or paused when hit, allowing further action if needed. Big bore bullets at point blank hit hard, combined with muzzle blast at a few feet is effective, period. 4 legs or 2.
