had the need to shoot one, unfortunate ly I had no gun.
I would suggest the Ruger 96/44, if you can find one in stainless, even better. If you need an excuse to get a new long gun, get the biggest, baddest one money can buy. lol
There is some paranoia, fear with regards to bears but it never hurts to be well prepared. two cans of pepper, gun, bangers and set out something away from your tent that will attract the bears attention and alert you to his presence. Lots of people have gone missing in bear country.
