Zombie thread.

IMHO, the .40 is light for something as dangerous as a bear. It would be better than nothing. I believe if I were confronted by a bear I would consider shooting into the ground at least once. The most dangerous bear has her cubs with her, normally they are not that aggressive.

Regarding a laser, again IMO they are good for a quick aim under less than ideal conditions. At the range you will always shoot better with the sights. You can aim it like you aim a flashlight. You could look around the left side of a tree and hold your shooting hand around the right side. I do not have any laser equipped guns and when I see them at the range the laser is jumping all over the place.
