[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 1969126, member: 108576"] phorwath said what I was thinking,"if the spray deploys". My brother in law used to be very active outdoors and always carried bear spray and a 454. While high in the mountains in his favorite spot he encountered a bear and it looked mad!He started walking at first toward my brother in law yelled and the bear kept coming so he grabbed the bear spray and at 30 feet from a live person my brother in law deployed the bear spray,the spray went about 3 feet and stopped.He grabbed the 454 but not before the bear ran at him and bumped him while full speed running past him.He never got the 454 out completely before the bear bumped him and of course he fell down. Thankfully it was a semi false charge but I learned a valuable lesson that spray can fail and if you have a jacket on over the 454 you are less likely to deploy the firearm before the bear is on top of you. They are super fast. Just my 2 cents Old Rooster [/QUOTE]
