What an utterly stupid thing to do. No target - no shoot. Hell, by some
remote chance someone could be out there. And the 9mm is just a toy
intended for two-legged targets.

I agree. Shooting a 9mm at a BEAR??? And at a bear you can't even
see? What a 'tard.

I've used my 9 to scare a bear off before but I sure didn't shoot at
it, just
close by. I also knew exactly where the bear was, about 90 ft in
front of me
standing at my fence and he was PO'd to say the least. He had alread
touched
the fence and got about a 10K volt shock and he didn't like it a
bit. The 9 ran
him off far enough for me to run like hell and get out of there. I
was running 1
way, my dogs headed for the bear and the bear headed back for the
woods.

Randy, were your pyrenees involved? There was a great video of three
Great Pyrenees taking on a brown bear (Grizzly!). They each took turns
harassing him with bites to the legs and ass. He couldn't touch any of
them. Eventually, he ran away - fast. They work great in teams.

Yep, and they did exactly as you mentioned.
That's the 2nd time they have save my butt from a bear.
