Have to agree with P.J. about this. There was an incident last
year(?) when a guy was walking no more than a mile or so from his
house and was attacked by an old, dying (of starvation) Grizzly.
It
may have been a gummy bear but it was 6-800lbs of hungry omnivore
determined to have an easy meal. Only because he was carrying a
particularly powerful handgun (and managed a lucky hit with one of
the three rounds he managed to
fire) did he survive. Humans are still the huntee in some parts of
the continent.
A link for those interested.

A "snub nose" .454 Casull!
I'd hate to try to empty the cylinder on one of those in a hurry.
As it would seem to entail being in the path of a charging predator, I
tend to agree with you. But I'd give it a jolly good go if I had to.
I think the bear would perhaps be thinking the same thing. I'd give evens on
the outcome.
I wouldn't. 8-(((
