An impractical weapon

I think they are somewhat popular in Alaska for those who take walks in Grizzly country.

A shotgun would just piss the grizzly off.

Well that is stupid of anyone who thinks they will stop a charging and/or angry bear with any gun is just stupid. Statistics do not support that....

However, the rate is 100% with bear spray.

Grizzlies, polar bears, black bears, brown bears, etc all have been stopped with bear spray.
Failure rate of zero.
Best of all it is far less expensive than fire arms.... does not have to be cleaned or stored in a safe between being shot.
Best $30 anyone can spend for security in the wild or your home.

Now that is not to say guns are stupid or not needed and we should be allowed to own and use them just cause it is OUR RIGHT..... just read the constitution... but for protection against bears they are not the best thing.

Bear spray is. Bear spray will stop all the other nasties in the wild too.
However, I don't know if it has been tested on Zombies so you may need a gun for them.

Does that gun come with wheels? I'd hate to walk very far with it. It would cause back problems.
