That's exactly the kind of over confidence that I was talking about. You'd be willing to bet your life on drawing that hogleg out from within your sleeping bag after being awoke with a 900# bear chewing on you?
There'll be a fresh shiney 44 laying on the ground someday.
You have no idea just how fast things can and do happen with a bear in thick brush or alder thickets. Were you aware that a bear can out run a quarter horse for a good distance? Do you think that in that 2-4 seconds you'll be able to draw and hit the CNS. Forget the brain shoty. It won't work because of the slope of the skull, it'll deflect away.

I don't know how you do it where ever you're from but here we try our best not to get into a pissing contest with a skunk because we know what we will smell like afterwards..
