A 12 gauge loaded with 1 ounce rifled slugs is fine bear medicine provided one places the shots properly.

Two short videos:

Port Armstrong Salmon Hatchery, AK. the place is crawling with brown bears and everyone(pop. 14) carries a 12 gage.

In Port Armstrong: Bears? What Bears? Starting at about 7:05. Note how the bear at 7:45 reacts to gunfire.

Remember: If attacked by a Brown bear (Grizzlies) - Play dead. If a Black bear - fight back Video shot last Summer
