@CandidDevOps@JTAlexander So let me get this straight, your working theory is that somehow triple digits (?) of armed people get killed by bears every year that no one seems to notice missing, and your evidence for that is generalized vibes based on your perception of bears as bullet-proof death machines?
@cackenbools@JTAlexander Personally I'd carry 10mm in bear territory but it's been proven time and time again that virtually any centerfire round will work as long as you don't panic and miss.
@CandidDevOps@JTAlexander Lethal bear attacks are in fact documented and heavily publicized. It's not the 1800s anymore and if you get lost hiking, people tend to notice. Sorry to burst your bubble.
@CandidDevOps@JTAlexander I'm sorry your old man's tales about bears being unstoppable juggernauts aren't real and all evidence shows that they get utterly BTFO by firearms just like the rest of wildlife. I hope your neovagina heals soon.
@JTAlexander "Unless you’re carrying 12-gauge slugs, not even a firearm is an absolute guarantee to stop a pissed off bear."
9mm handguns have a 100% success rate in stopping bear attacks, with zero recorded failures to date, stop the fuddlore.
@JTAlexander The vanishingly rare cases of firearms being ineffective in repelling a bear attack almost always boil down to simply missing.
