Cerda locked himself in the car and used the camera on his cell phone to snap a few pictures.
That's when he noticed the remnants of his lunch strewn about.

Everyone who argues with a bear loses. My dad took me hunting once and we saw a bear. He pulled out his 357 and we slowly moved back to the car. My dad was sweating in rivers. Told me to be sure and save one bullet for myself if it ever came down to it with a bear. Dad was 6'2" tall and weighed nearly 300 pounds. Scared me to death.

Many city folks say that bears will only eat fruits and nuts.
Bears will eat anything...even us...given the chance.

357 is OK for a black bear, but for a larger one it's completely inadequate. 44 mag or better.

Identifying Bears:
If you see a Bear... climb a tree.
If the bear climbs up the tree and kills you... it's a Black Bear.
If it knocks the tree down and kills you... it's a Grizzly Bear.

If there are no trees around for you to climb and the bear chases you across the snow and kills you it's a polar bear.

If while it is killing you and you notice a cute cub through your swollen eyes...it's a female bear.

We were staying in Yosemite one weekend a few years ago, right down in the valley bottom where you are camped elbow to elbow. I heard some wierd noised during the night and the next morning an F-150 a few yards away had the drivers side door peeled open like a grape. There's a reason they say, "Don't store food in your car!"

"...folks say that bears will only eat fruits and nuts."
Does this mean that most Californians are in danger?

Some good advice from before...
"Hire an attorney and look for a bear with deep pockets."

Recoil ought to be manageable. 7.62x39 would do, but only on full auto.

If you notice, while the bear is killing you, that it's wearing a hat and smells like smoke, it may be
