   Have you ever seen bear spray used against an angry female grizzly? You have   
   to be within six feet of the bear, which is a rather intimidating range to   
   be in, especially if its in a full gallop, or you happen to be down wind..   
   you might just end up pissing it off even more. Better hope you remembered   
   to shake it, and remove the safety too... oh, and don't slip on that rock as   
   you instinctive back away, either...   
      
   If you want to trust a can of seasoning to protect yourself, go right   
   ahead... more power to ya... But i'll stick with a firearm thanks... Usually   
   the thunderous bang will send most of them packing, but if not, at least you   
   can deal with the threat at a safe range.   
      
   Of course the government seems to be of the opinion that defending yourself   
   lawfully, regardless of your opponent, is something illegal. Which is the   
   height of stupidity, of course.
