You are about 10 times more likely to get killed by lighting than by a bear.

What is the best lighting gun????

Yes, I always carry a gun when I am in the boondocks. But, bears are not all that high on my list, cougars are even lower. More apt to end up with a stupid moose tangled up in my tent ropes. Actually had one walk right beside my tent once, but no problems. Had an elk run through camp once too. Never know what might happen. LOL
