We came across a bear crossing the road last Sunday. I had to hit the
brakes to avoid hitting it. It didn't occur to me to whip out a gun and
shoot it.

Most pocket handguns (38/9mm) would just **** off a bear.

Sort of depends on the bear, eh? Or have you surveyed florida bears?

The bears around here are pretty tame. I have not heard of any showing
any aggression and people are chasing them out of their yards once or
twice a month.
It is still an animal that is 150-200 pounds and has the ability to do
some damage if you get him ****ed at you. I doubt a 9mm is going to
stop one before he gets to you.

Depends on the bear and the shooter, eh? I've seen bear tracks out at
the Shenandoah and a buddy with an adjacent property has a natural rock
cave on his property that families of smaller bears use.

Oh, a 200-pound mammal, man or otherwise, is not that hard to stop with
a few shots from a 9mm pistol.
