    I've followed several of these types of discussions through the years all over the glorious internet and my takeaway is that it's an individual decision on how you choose to defend yourself against predators, or if you even choose to at all. I've seen so much bias from proponents of bear spray and firearms. Some people just flat out hate guns and will twist every argument they can against them. Reality is, firearms have worked against bears. I've also seen firearm proponents who just can't seem to admit that bear spray would be more effective in lots of situations. Reality is, bear spray has worked against bears. Another reality, both firearms and bear spray have failed to protect some against bears.

    Personal choice and I'm not going to fault you for yours, and please don't fault me for mine....
    It is what it is.
