Unless you're a trained cop, you will not be able to pull your gun out, aim, and shoot it dead with the fear of a charging Grizzly Bear. [More]Good grief. Until now, I hadn't realized that this was also among the magic "Only Ones" powers conveyed by the amulet and costume.
Funny. I just got done talking about parks.
If you think it will do any good, go on over there and see if you can make any headway--probably not with the author, but perhaps there are some open minds in his readership who will be receptive to arguments that aren't, you know, stupid...

OK - so one can spray a running bear, but only a "trained police officer" possesses the skill sets to actually shoot one.
When I worked as an RSO at our local range, another RSO asked the local Sheriff's sniper to please not shoot if the RSO was ever in a hostage situation.
He made the comment after witnessing the sniper shoot the hostage target multiple times.
Yeah - Ill rely on a pressurized bottle of pepper instead of a gun.
Not.
One even says that shooting the charging bear dead won't save you, as now 1,000 pounds of meat and bone will be hitting you at 35 mph.
Some people cannot be reasoned with. A good reminder for us.
If a person think that bear spray is the best protection then let him carry bear spray. If he thinks a gun is the best protection then he should carry a gun. If he thinks little dingle bells on a stick is best then he must carry a stick with little dingle bells
Let natural selection sort them out.
Ned, in one account, written by a Navy SEAL sniper supposedly trained in hostage rescue, there was one phrase used over and over by the team. "Sucks to be a hostage".
Last time I visited Canada, the pretty little border agent, seeing my Texas tags, asked if I'd brought my guns, knives or o.c. spray...she did not smile when I asked if bear spray was allowed...
Bear Advisory
The Forest Service has issued a BEAR WARNING in the national forests for this summer. They're urging everyone to protect themselves by wearing bells and carrying pepper spray.
Campers should be alert for signs of fresh bear activity, and they should be able to tell the difference between Black Bear dung and Grizzy Bear dung.
Black Bear dung is rather small and round. Sometimes you can see fruit seeds and/or squirrel fur in it.
Grizzly Bear dung has bells {AND BADGES} in it, and smells like pepper spray!
