Chubon, whom the bear also mauled, grabbed Uptain’s Glock but couldn’t get it to fire, Hovinga said.
A related investigation by the Teton County Sheriff’s office resolved a key question; whether Uptain’s Glock was in good working order.
Game and Fish turned the weapon over to the department, which gave it to its firearms expert, Lieutenant Matt Carr told WyoFile. “It was a fully functional Glock,” said Carr, the sheriff-elect of Teton County.

NO reason to 'carry' a Glock unchambered, if if it isn't on your person. It doesn't just 'go off', even if dropped. PLUS, in the 'wild', why not carry? Lotsa of really comfy holsters..

laying a non-functional gun on the ground and rolling around in guts and gore in grizzly country is like walking through a combat zone.

Yup, again, before I got my CCW, when I 'manny-ied' my 2 grand kids, and before I got my first handgun, I had my son show me how to operate his G-17 that was up in is safe..along with the combo..
