Heading into bear country soon (in Canada).
Recommendations for good bear protection? Also fuck bear spray.
Also, you'd have to be retarded to carry a .50 handgun and claim that its for "bear defense" right? Seems like small pecked defense to me, but I honestly don't know.

I'll tell you if you post more of that doggo.

>stopping a bear with a handgun
Eh, maybe with good shooting and ammo. But in that situation I'd consider it a better idea to, you know, scoot.

Say scooting isn't an option, what's your go to? Most stuff I've found says12gauge is ideal.

.357 magnum with good ammo and shot placement is fine for bears
.44 magnum is better
But a rifle would be ideal. .308 .30-06 .45-70
Also shot placement, even with more powerful ammo is extremely important. If you don't get a headshot that results in brain death you will be mauled to death by the bear while it's bleeding to death.

Even a regular ar15 in 223 with 55 grain ball mixed in with 40 grain v max hollow points.

Twelve gauge slugs are probably your best bet.
