Maybe even a firearm with more than one "bullet," since they are in Canada and Bozo Joe Biden can't take it away.

a woman staying on an island in a lake that straddles the border between Minnesota and Ontario, Canada has been killed by a black bear
...
The 62-year-old woman was staying at a remote family cabin on Red Pine Island in Rainy Lake. The island, in Canadian waters, is about 10 miles northeast of International Falls.

Ontario Provincial Police Constable Jim Davis says the woman, who was staying with her parents from Minnesota, went outside when she heard her two dogs barking Sunday evening and never returned. Davis says the parents called police who shot the bear after finding it standing over the woman’s body.

I know an elderly that had to chase a black bear out of her kitchen one afternoon while she was baking pies. This was in a small house in the woods of northern Minnesota. She was 88 at the time.
I wonder what the medical code is at the hospital for admitting someone with a bear’s head attached to their leg.

Where I live, the democrats are more conservative than the Republicans in Seattle. :)
Dogs can be a trigger for a bear attack. Has happened before............. Yep! No bears where I live but we do have a ton of Javalina’s. Want to have a bad encounter with a Javalina, just have a dog with you. They can do more damage to a dog than a feral hog can. The don’t try and hook with a tusk, they bite and shake.

We are in the woods and have had a black bear or bears come into our front yard many times. We stopped feeding the birds there for the most part, although the vegetation around the mowed area recently has become so dense that deer and bears are no longer much of a problem. I’m more worried about EEE and West Nile diseases.
Yellowstone-area grizzly bear attacks have killed 7 people recently.

They were going to spend their vacation in Toledo but all the hotels were booked.....
I have such a cabin in central Pennsylvania.
My parents bought it in the mid-1980’s.
Bears were a relatively rare sight at the time, but
due to SUCCESSFUL environmental clean-up efforts their
population has exploded since then.
Everyone has had to take steps to bear-proof their property (super heavy duty bearproof garbage containers, etc.)

Javelina, if cornered, can be vicious. I once had the rare privilege of evicting a trapped javelina from my house after it and a whole herd invaded via the dog door after they had been trapped in my yard when the yard gate latched behind them. All but one left on their own but one got trapped in my daughter’s bedroom when the door closed behind it.
Damned thing could close its mouth so hard and fast it sounded like lie a bear trap snapping shut. I vamoosed it with a very long pool skimmer pole while hiding behind a door.
Remote area + no gun = disaster.
A black bear that attacks (rare) is much more aggressive than a grizzly. A grizzly will usually stop the attack once the threat is gone - hence one is supposed to cover up and play dead.
While black bear attacks are rare, when they do attack they won’t stop until you are eaten. So yes, you fight back and hopefully can make it too much trouble for a meal. For cougars one is supposed to fight them back as well.
Canoe trips in Northern Minnesota we would stash the food under overturned metal canoes. The black bears would make enough noise trying to get to it and we would wake up and could chase them off with pots and pans. Then 10 minutes later hear them at the next campsite down the shoreline a half-mile and hear THEM bang their pots and pans. Those bears were just making their nightly rounds!
One of the states with the largest black bear populations is also one of the states most densely populated by humans...New Jersey!
He is very lucky to be alive - he had a handgun.
I am not making light of it but it seems that when Obamacare started they had to have a stinkin' code for every situation.
I used to live in New Jersey, moving there after college. It always amazed me when driving around (I lived in a small town) just how much of New Jersey is wooded and empty of people.
And then my next thought would be “Boy - the cities must be REALLY crowded!”
That looks like a better fit.
