but definately much better than not having a gun, and “hoping thst the charge is a bluff”

I'm not sure how close bears typically get when they are bluff-charging but given how close this guy let both of them get before firing suggests that these might have been real charges.

Some Bluff charges can get pretty close with bears veering off at the last second, according to videos of charges I’ve seen, but once they cross a certain distance, it should be a case of them forfeiting their right to live as one can’t be sure it is a bluff charge. Course liberals will scream that other bear charge b,uffs were very close, and the person “should have waited longer to make sure it was a real chsrge or not” but that is not an option- once that bear crosses a line, the person has every right to think its a real charge. Personally I’d be firing the moment it started in my direction in what looked like an aggressive manner, and just not say anything other than “the bear was charging and too close to me when i decided to shoot” if questioned. There are no do-overs if a person gets it wrong. It isn’t a game- liberals think so, but then again they are ignorant. A bear coming at a person must be considered dangerous, as that is not their usual tendencies. Those that do come at a person might be b,uffing this time, but they are ,earning to get closer and c,over until one day they do work up the courage to actuslly attack a person, and that is a dangerous bear in the making- 99% won’t want anything to do with people, but that 1%, or so, need to be dealt with
