“Lorenz fired a single gunshot into the air, scaring the grizzly bears away as they charged towards him.”

Wow, he did not have time for a second shot. If that hadn’t scared them away, his video would have showed a very different ending.

IMHO, he waited way too long to fire the first shot.

He could have hugged the bear, while displaying a Peace bumper sticker.

Lots of tree huggers/gun grabbers carry when they’re out like that.
