Nope. Never shot one either. Have you?
Never needed to. As I said up thread, I've never run into a bear that wanted anything more than to get the hell away from me. Except for the one that I also mentioned previously who was trying to figure out how he could get my friend's tuna fish sandwich. Once my friend ate the sandwich the bear lost all interest
I've just read stories on this forum. I've sprayed plenty of angry dogs and people. They usually snort, shake their heads, and regroup to attack again . . .
I've been sprayed once with Saber Red. Per the training requirements I was able to I don't want to say knock down but I pushed the trainer down and put handcuffs on him.
I'm going to say it again, based on my experience with bears, they don't want anything to do with people. Bear spray adds to that.
Bears aren't dogs and they're not criminals.
I actually know a little about dog attacks too.
NGL I don't know if OC would have stopped that dog.
ETA I've only ever actually seen one grizzly bear in my life and that was right outside Cody Wyoming. He was a yearling (yes I'm assuming the Bear's gender) and he started a bear Jam just outside Yellowstone or maybe just inside Yellowstone.
Once too many people got to looking at him he took off.
Having said that grizzly bears are more aggressive than black bears and grizzly bears or more likely to attack you than a black bear. And because they're grizzly bears if they do attack you, they're more likely to kill you than a black bear.
All that said you still have a better chance of hitting the Powerball or getting your ass kicked by a cow.
All
that said, I'm still going to carry my bear spray and my gun
