Apparently, it seems there are many people in Canada who are horrified at the idea that guns might be useful in some way. How many more deaths like that will it take for them to get over that feeling? I can understand their feelings in a civilized area with little or no crime, but in the wilderness with dangerous critters? Give me a break.
Bear spray DOES work. Show me a real incident where it didn’t when used properly.
Probably they all stood back a safe distance and waved their arms and made a bunch of noise. The problem is not a luck of guns but a lack of balls. Take that fire extinguisher over there and whack that bear as hard as you can. If you can hit it on the nose, so much the better. The bear was not frightened by noise because it was used to that. It’s just big dog and a group of people with heavy objects could have beaten it down in no time. They were more worried for their own safety.
