Charged by a Grizzly: A 10mm Glock (and Serious Practice) Saved My Life

Sam Kezar fired seven rounds amid a split-second grizzly charge. Those shots, plus one from his buddy, saved him from being mauled.

Kudos to this guy on his prep/practice with his choice of bear defense.

The gun is the great equalizer. Pretty sure someone said that once. I’m sure other things may work, but well placed shots always work.

Read the article. It did a nice job at explaining the importance of regular and focused training for a specific use case. Lots of posts on this site, and others, that always talk about what people carry but few ever mention their training. Folks tend to not be as good in "what if" scenarios than we think we will be.

Just look at how many rounds the military uses per kill. Something like 45,000 per enemy soldier.
