I am going to keep that weapon ready in case the noise doesn't scare him. I could care less about a "ricochet" if in the woods.

A warning shot at a charging bear is wasting ammo you may need. Bears know what people are. If a bear comes, a warning shot wont impress it, he already knows what it is up against, why it chose a charge instead of run away.
