#1 .40 caliber haters will point out it took more than one shot to stop the bear.

#3 Regarding 9mm for Bear

In short, a 9mm, and even 50 rds could have just pissed it off.

I prefer a Colt Delta Elite 10 mm for serious issues.

#4 10mm is a decent choice, and lots of it. Consider a .460?

For me, for bear (or LARV) a 90mm recoilless might be more effective. Just watch out for that back-blast.

Pix later if I live that long.

#10 /\ I do have a low sense of humor though.

#11 A better plan would be to keep bears out of your house on the first place.

#12 Do y'all have alot of bear break ins or do y'all just like big ass guns?

#13 Yes, to both. But I am unlikely to kill one. Can't be ruled out, however as it is situational. Very.

#14 90mm recoilless might be more effective

Ruins too much meat. 40mm HEDP is the sweet spot.

#15 I think I'd have to cover that pistol with toothpaste before I fired it.

#20 What about flamethrowers? Would a flamethrower be useful when bears are wandering through the premises?

#21 Legend had it bear fat is/was supposed to be a delicacy. Or is it one of those that which can kill you, tastes better?

#22 He shot a bear in his pajamas?

Naked ladies and P.J. guys shooting intruders in their homes.

Gives me hope.
