I was reading a story on reddit this morning about grizzly bears in Alaska and got to thinking ... could a shotgun stop a bear? If not a grizzly, could it stop a black bear? My gut tells me any buckshot would just piss it off, so maybe a slug would slow it down? I don't live in a bear-prone area, but did grow up in one.
Just curious if any of the shotgun enthusiasts on THR have any knowledge on this topic. I think bears, grizzlies in particular, are completely fascinating and would love to see one someday - from behind some bullet proof glass hopefully.
ps. Here's the story I was reading for any curious: http://www.kaniut.com/abtsam.htm
