      Yeah, any handgun that fits in a pocket isn't one that I'd want to bother a bear with.

        Maybe you could scare it off but IDK it's best to just stand still or play dead. Also bears run faster uphill than downhill if anyone was wondering.

    So I meet an Alaskan Native bear hunter once (that's like an occupation you can have in Alaska apparently). He said he always brought a handgun with him on hunts because apparently bears are sneaky fucks and will sometimes manage to come up behind you, so you gotta have a gun you can whip out fast. So idk maybe this guy wasn't that crazy.

    Wearing a bell that would prevent a bear from attacking you: feminine, not macho

    A handgun that won’t stop a charging bear: macho, can impress your fellow hikers.

    A normal black bear? or a griz? for a black bear thats crazy, literally just put your hands up and yell "fuck off" and they'll fuck off. Grizzly bear- you could empty a clip in its forehead and just piss it off... you know the joke about what bears call bear mace? "seasoning"
