Re: grizzly defence question
To use spray first and then gun makes no sense, if you are that close, you do not have time to swap to another line of defense. If the wind is blowing in your face, what good is a mist in the air going to do other than affect you, or the taste of you ? And for the above comment on how hard it is to be ready with a firearm, to me that makes little sense. Why have the safety on and no round in the chamber ? To aim at something that is coming straight for you should be easier than crossing your path, so aiming should not be an issue. To think bear spray in a Velcro pouch pulling it out, removing the lock and aiming after the danger gets very close does not seem reasonable . If you are somewhere that you are not allowed firearms, then of course that is only option. I rather fire shot into ground ,making a loud boom to scar off an attack first
