The way I understand things, and adult human has little to fear from a black bear unless we get between momma and her cubs.

That was the way it used to be. It is not necessarily the case now. In the days when humans were habitually armed, an animal that got close to a human was likely to be killed and added to the pantry.

To an animal predator, an armed human is a dangerous predator. An unarmed human is prey. Predator beasts will slowly come to that realization
