>>2461882>debating the politics of carrying a gun instead of debating which gun is most effective FOR YOU in a defensive bear encounter.huh, I wonder who could be behind this
also, it seems basic handguns have a 20%+ effectiveness compared to spray.
>>2461476here's a relevant question: where will you be hiking, and what kind of bears do you expect to encounter?
black bears: lol carry whatever, unless you'll be near the magical southern east coast giant black bears
brown bears: carry the gun that shoots the heaviest bullets you can reasonably use and carry.
