Only bears who watch Battlestar Galactica will eat beets.

How many bears have been stopped by beets?

They were almost universally beet'n into submission.

Pb:
That is pretty interesting.

How effective is bear spray in comparision?

K Frame:
" Said they only counted cases where the pistol was fired. "

But what about cases in which the handgun was fired?

T.O.M.:
Setting jokes aside a moment, what I found interesting is that caliber seems less important than I thought, given my vast experience reading gun magazines and web pages since I was 16 years old.  I recall reading an article on  firearms in bear country which basically said if you had to carry a handgun, it better be .44 magnum or more.  Guess some of these bears didn't read that article..
