Yes, Mr. Medred does suggest that those not highly proficient with firearms should not rely on them for bear protection. I happen to agree with that. Unfortunately, I have met far too many people who carry do firearms for bear protection, yet who can't even reliably hit a paper target on a range, let alone a charging bear in the brush.

Mr. Medred also indicates that he is highly proficiant with firearms. I have no problem with him or anyone else who is truely proficient with firearms carrrying them for bear protection.
