has anyone stopped a bear with a 9mm or 45?

[pale horse]

Aikibiker yes they did/do its called an MP10.

Sure...simple....shoot your buddy in the leg with the 9mm or .45

If it doesn't stop the bear it will at least slow him down!

Of course I know little about such things. Here in Florida most of the bears are about the size of a large dog.

Yeah, but the suitcases those large dogs are carrying are alligators!
