National Parks in the lower 48 do not allow firearms in the back country except for a very few exceptions.

Well, the Constitution trumps the administrative edict of some worthless bureaucrat.

A better choice would be a couple of cans of pepper spray.

Pepper spray is marginally effective, at best, on 150 lbs humans. I think it's effectiveness on 400 lb bears would be *zero*.

If you've got the guts and the dollars to back-em down, more power to you.

On this one, you are just plain wrong.
