As hot as your firearm will handle.

No, that's not true at all unless something has changed recently ...?Unfortunatly, as far as I can tell, CO is not an open carry state.
I'm not sure if I'd want a 10mm, it isn't that it isn't that powerful (raw energy is comparable to .357), but I'm just not sure you'll have the penatration that you'll have with the heavier .357mag
So how would a 200-220gr 10mm bullet not do what a 180gr .357 bullet will do?
So, although legal I don't want to take the chance on some ninny getting their knickers in a damp twist and landing me in the pokey for something I do in total confidence here in AZ.Open Carry - You can open carry legally unless posted otherwise. However, persons have been and continue to be prosecuted for "disorderly conduct" if the "victim" was "alarmed" at seeing the firearm.
I'd go with a 12 gauge pump, 18 or 20" rifle sighted barrel, loaded to the gills with 3 inch 1-1/4 ounce fosters.....mag extention tube and a not cheap weapon light. If you are shooting at a bear its gonna be in shotgun range... leave big holes and plenty of them, never get boxed into a corner.
