at any given moment there are 3-5 brown bear in my new neighborhood. so this topic has come up.
i'm not talking about hunting. i'm talking about the nightmare scenario of taking the trash out and coming around a corner to see a sow twenty feet away. one neighbor carries a .454 casull. the other a .500 smith and wesson. but realistically a fisherman got mauled up past nikiski two months ago, and never had time to draw. another bear slashed a couple bicyclists up near hope. most likely it wasn't an attack. they were just in the way.
it's established that you can blast a bear in the back of the head from 200 yards and he will drop. in my search to find a handgun guaranteed to stop one charging ten feet away the general consensus is that there is no such thing.
