What is the best gun to take out a bear with? My family moved into a house that is pretty deep into the woods last year and the bears are starting to get braver with getting near the dog and we are getting a gun in case one actually decides to attack the dog.

We have no idea what gun would work best on a bear and I figured you guys would know.

The biggest we have around here are brown bears and I assume whatever can kill them would also kill a black bear
