this is black bear, not grizzly.
So? Black bears to tend to be more passive. But that isn't the case every time. Ever come across a cub? You think that situation doesn't come about? I'm definitely seeing a pattern of marginalizing what should actually be suggested...and not only in this thread....
in all honesty, (i know you guys will flame me for this) when i am hiking in northern az where the biggest predators are cougars and black bears, i carry my p22 with cci mini mags
Need I say more?
Do what you want. It's your business. But I would get ready by donning a flame suit. You're going to need it...
