People in black bear country need to understand how dangerous they are and what lies are put out by state agencies. This unfortunate girl's story fits the standard pattern.
Lone, predatory black bears responsible for most human attacks

Yes, and almost any handgun will serve to stop a predatory black bear attack.

They often approach the “prey” carefully and cautiously, giving plenty of opportunity to use a handgun to stop them.

Any bear that openly approaches humans closer then 30 feet is dangerous and should not be tolerated.

They have become acclimated to humans and pose a real danger.

I would never go camping anywhere without a firearm....hell I don’t go to Walmart without one.
