If you have a CCW which is required in some states, a .44 is a great tool for protection.

So, if a bear looks intent on going after you, should you have some food to toss his way and/or drop your pack? Or do they only come after you when they're aggressive? (In which case, likely you'd want to keep your pack on as added protection for your spine.)
