FYI According to a friends wife who is an ER doctor, everyone who has
shot
a grizzley bear in self defense in Wyoming with a handgun has been mauled.


Did he happen to say what they were carrying, or if they were competent
handgunners? I do know of one case, several years ago, where a guy tried to
take out a grizzley with a .38 special he was carrying for snakes.

You should inform her that its not desolate...its populated...there
are
about 20,000 grizzley bears in BC.

Well, I told her that.

She asked me if I still had my old .44 Magnum and a lot of ammo. :~(
