I can't imagine even a grizzly not responding properly to pepper spray. Literally blinded, unable to smell, hurt and discombobulated, if that doesn't stop the attack, I don't know what will. Bears have been known to shrug off bullets. People have been known to miss, or forget the safety under the stress that a close range charging can present. God almighty, would I remember to cock a super Blackhawk?

I think that personally I would leave the safety off when I went out. The nice thing about bear spray is that you get a direct hit zone and a fog zone.

My father was fishing in a remote area of Yellowstone, a big grizzly charged him and gave him a mighty big whomp and knocked him down into four feet or so of water.

If it happened to him, does that mean that I might have the same thing happen, or does it lessen the chance even further? I just found the news clipping again a few weeks ago. You should have seen that thing. They had to kill it, he did it with a .357.
