What are you on. Life and death situations are textbook uses for guns no matter how antigun rights you are.
Or, how about avoiding those life and death situations? I’ll “stand my ground” that most bear attacks are caused by people. Don’t do that. Don’t be stupid and rely on blasting away to save your life. Bear bells, secure food storage away from people, not getting too close with your photo attempt, are much more effective
Yes I agree do all of this, don't just shoot everything you see. But on the chance this fails or you make a mistake, you should have a gun as a last resort.
If every back country hiker was strapped up we would have more deaths, not less.
Okay bud. If you don't want to carry by all means no one is forcing you. But I'm going to protect my family when we camp or need to visit bear country for any reason.
Okay bud but this is Canada.
Many guns are still legal in Canada.
Carrying them openly at camp sites and in national or provincial parks is not.
More people carrying guns will result in more suicide, more domestic violence murders, and more accidental homicides than it will prevent human deaths from fucking bears.
Grow up.
Go unarmed then. I don't actually care what you do. But if carrying a gun gives me a last resort to save my family in bear country, I'm going to train and carry.
If holding a gun makes you suicidal, homicidal, or if you're worried you'll accidentally kill someone, don't carry or seek training.
Do what's responsible for you.

.... show me a boomer who doesn't understand how mental illness, hunting accidents, or statistics works ✅
That gun is still more likely to kill a loved one or a fellow innocent person than it is to save your family, but you don't care about that because having a big boom stick still makes you feel warm and safe and like you don't have to worry right?
Lol. You have to resort to insults because you don't have a logical position
Or just don't voluntarily go somewhere that could result in a "life or death" situation?
If that's how you want to do it. Nature is dangerous sometimes. Shouldn't let that prevent you from seeing its beauty.
