I was rushed at by a bear on the side of Mt. Rainier once while eating lunch. He came straight at us across a pond. He probably got the pepperoni we were eating and dropped in our haste.

I keep telling my wife we need the 9mm with Buffalo Bore even in black bear country, but all the leftists on the trail would freak out.

You might consider a larger caliber for bears.

I like the ones that start with “4.”

Tim Sundles, who owns Buffalo Bore, really likes .45 and larger caliber bullets.

Well, there you go. No need to carry a gun or pepper spray in bear country. If you get charged by a bear, just throw some pizza at him.
