I have a great deal of respect for your opinion. See below.

Exactly. The whole save the poor bear at the cost of your own life and limb has gone a bit far IMHO. And I never carry a gun until I'm comfortable with it and have put at least 300-500 rounds through it and know EXACTLY where it will print. As for firing calmly under stress; I have a great deal of experience with opponents far more dangerous than a bear. Nuff said.
Thanks to all of you for your input, and thanks to you Glock for expressing my ideas.
