We could even encourage worried homeowners to buy bear spray for protection. I backpack, and it’s well known that bear spray is more effective against a charging grizzly than a handgun. Probably also more effective against a home invader. Think of it as harm reduction. [More]
That ought to go real well indoors.
As for outdoors, I’m thinking the Tueller drill shows a human can traverse 21 feet in a second-and-a-half and I’m guessing how long an 800 Lb. bear at 35mph would take and how close it actually has to get to be assured of a face-full, and wondering if that would be enough, and then remembering how some have been seen rolling around in pepper spray, and noting rangers carry guns, and then what he’d do against an armed home assailant, and… what the hell. It’s not like this chronic idiot is worth debating.
