No need to tell this group that it's important to be able to fight back:
I do believe in bear spray. It works. So does a firearm. Typically my sidearm when out in the hills hiking, camping, fishing or whatever is a 3" 357 magnum S&W J frame revolver. The past couple of years I've been loading it with 180 grain cast Buffalo Bore ammunition. It's compact and light enough to always be on my person and easily reached.
What's your means of bear defense?

Six Black Bear Attacks this Summer, None of the Victims were Armed
Six separate attacks. Three at campgrounds, three on people running on trails. None of the people had weapons to fight with.
