Bear pistol?

[White Falcon]

Ruger .44 mag.

Yes but I am paranoid and if something is going to kill me I'm gonna go in a hail of gunfire. It's just comforting, ill have to look up a lot of these suggestions thanks

It's better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it.

[Javelin]

glock 20 10mm. I would rather hav 16 10mm shots with a quick 15 more with mag change than only 6 44 mag

Bear spray. Been meaning to get some for the front door. Really runs off the salesmen.

I use a Dirty Harry when needed.

I would rather have an auto of some kind too. Carried my 1911 last year while bowhunting. I shoot it a lot so Im more comfortable with it than anything. We actually bumped into half a dozen bears while elk hunting last season including a mom with two cubs. My buddy and I both had big bears within bow range so it was nice to have something if I would have needed it.

I'd trust a 10mm glock to get the job done.

Any of the above, but your chances of getting hit by a bus is better than getting attacted by a lion or bear.

Well people here in Alaska need to really be scared of buses. We had 2 attacks in my neighbor hood last year. One days walking her dog another jogging. Bear did not kill them just slapped them around a little.

The guides in AK mostly carry revolvers in 357 or 44. As does F&G

.41 mag or 10mm. Carried a lightweight commander in 45acp loaded with ap rounds.
