[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 1725053, member: 65338"] That's why nobody in Montana carries a 9mm for bear defense. Just makes them angry getting hit with a little pea shooter like that. I have no idea where these ya-hoo outta-staters get the idea that a 9mm will suffice??? Never has anyone who lives in bear country EVER suggested to anyone that a person should carry a 9mm. Not one video or article ever taped or written will you find that ridiculous idea. I dont carry bear spray either. Bear spray takes 2 hands to deploy and use. Way too many stories of people being mauled after deploying bear spray, just the same as that story. Powerful handguns are the best choice. Semi autos should have a round locked and loaded in the chamber at all times while hiking and revolvers should only be double action in case a person doesnt have time to cock the hammer. If those hunters would have shot the bear multiple times with a 10mm Auto or 44 mag, it wouldnt have attacked multiple times and the wardens would have found that bear dead in the area. And if it was the same bear, then the morons using the bear spray are part of the reason the other guys got attacked later on. As for the human population. I know the area where the attacks occurred in that article. That place is completely overrun with hunters from all over the states during archery and rifle season. I wont go there anymore. Too many morons. [/QUOTE]
