Guy attacked by Grizzly

[my_old_glock]

... I opened my jacked and showed him my Glock 20.   He immediately said, If you discharge that weapon in the park we're gonna have to come get you.  I said, That'll be fine.  He told me I'd be better off with the spray.   He said bears Bluff Charge.  I told him, I don't bluff.  We went on our way.  Never saw a grizzly while hiking but felt that I was well armed with a 10mm and 15+1 and an additional 15 in a spare mag.

It is your word against the bears, and even if the bear survives they won't get much information out of him/her.

The survivor is one heck of a guy, twice attacked. I've got a ton of respect for his fortuitous opportunity to live another day.

I've spent a lot of time in bear country  and the spray  comes out first,  then the handgun. In my case a Glock 20 with 200gr Hard Cast.

If I wasn't carrying climbing gear or heavy backpack, I'd take a shotgun with 12ga Magnum slugs.

I'm still amazed he survived. KUDOS!
