Re: US National Park Service: do not sacrifice slower friend in bear attack
This is funny. My cousin's husband (Lt. Col in the AF) just got stationed in Alaska. She was talking about getting a pistol for bears. I told her a .22 is all she needed. Just shoot her husband in the knee and she was good. I'm sending her this article. 
In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law to pursue a natural justice.

Handguns can be effective against bears. Here is an article by Dean Weingarten, Ammoland.
