...problem bears. What gun should I buy? We're having a bear problem in the area, as we have a cabin right at the edge of civilization where they send the problem bears from around the state. There have been a few car break-ins, and tent break-ins in the area, and as of the last several weeks we have found bear Scat within feet of our home and cars. The nearest other houses are a few miles away. We are really in the middle of it, and we see the bears enough when we are out and about to know they are here.
I do have a small hand gun (Keltec P3AT), but I am not allowed to bring a handgun into New York State. Even if I was however, I know this would do very little to nothing against a bear.
What type of gun should I keep on hand should a situation arise between ourselves, our horses, or our vehicles/home and a bear? I hope nothing ever happens, but I just don't feel safe without any sort of protection, especially given a lack of phone service or cell phone signal.
Thank you for any guidance!
