[QUOTE="Aeolus, post: 1564841, member: 96493"] I just moved to Montana and am not seeing this to be a potential problem. They actually trapped one last summer near by where I just moved. After a couple days of reading I see some myths about bear spray vs gun. And I choose gun. And also I think in the event I see a bear the first thing I’ll do is draw my pistol. That seems like a common mistake. People see the bear and start doing something else, maybe yelling, moving, getting bear spray, well I have made up my mind that I will go gun as I do whatever else I decided to do. A bear can cover 49 yards in 2 seconds I read. I am a former police officer and that’s about the idea with a knife attack and 21 feet. So pistol first and fast. I read a lot of old timers say a 44 mag and a lot of new timers say a Glock 10 mm. To be honest my training will work the Glock a lot better but what is some of you old heads experience? I always like to deal in facts not what ifs. [/QUOTE]
