What's better, bear spray or high caliber

[kochanut]

my first thought would be this. no matter which you carry, put in the situation, would you remeber to act and use either the spray or the pistol? comming back from the butt h*le of hell, im going to say hand gun, 45acp, 357 at the very least. i was thrown into a lot of wierd situations and reacting at first was something i wasent used to doing. after a few close calls it became normal. so yea, i would go large caliber hand gun. but before that route, if it was available, i would run down hill. bears have shorter front paws then back and cant run down hill (a semi steep hill) very well at all, least thats what i have been told. please correct m,e if im wrong
