Nothing wrong with being prepared with bear spray, and if anything one of the anons mentioned having multiple options (several people in camp with a rifle/shotgun, one with bearspray) is probably the best compromise.
Having a gun doesn't make me immune to being robbed, however it does give me an additional option than just being railed without a choice. Same thing with only having bear spray, it's a great OPTION, however it shouldn't be relied on exclusively.
This shit reminds me of non-lethal takedown doctrine in American contemporary law enforcement. They work great under controlled situations, against non-lethal aggressors. Unfortunately, under duress and plenty of other high-risk, lethal aggressor scenarios, a firearm is still king.
