IIRC the bear that ate the guy in Alaska that like to live with them was killed with a .40 as it was charging. The ranger did say there was some luck involved, one round hit him in the eye and went to the brain.

I can’t remember where but I saw a study where they looked at bear attacks where the victim was able to fire at least 1 shot that hit the bear. The conclusion was that, within limits, the caliber used is irrelevant to survival. .22lr and comparable power levels were pretty ineffective but anything 9mm on up was pretty equally effective.

the bear did not "break in" it opened an unlocked door!
I trust God as much as the next guy, but I always lock doors and windows as much as possible
