Ladies, we have had many bear sightings on our property and I am thinking of carrying bear spray and a handgun on me when I garden. If you have experience with this when doing chores around your place, how are you actually carrying your weapon while you work? Backpack? Chest holster, etc?

Melian...You are living not far from Puget sound now?

I will defer to these individuals but the bear spray will probably not work well!

I’m not a lady but here is my 2 cents.

Chest holster is most accessible. If you have a semi auto carry FMJ, not hollow points, you want penetration more than expansion. Same for .38 +P or .357 mag, JHP not hollow points.

Forget the spray, grab the gun.

Sorry, JSP (soft point) not hollow points.
