Indeed they do.
My sister lives in State College, where the local economy relies on hunting & Penn State football.
She is a master gardner and has friends who keep an apiary. Between the deer & bears, that amounts to masochism.
IIRC, they’re not allowed to fence their yards, either.
This brings to mind the old joke about New Jersey announcing a bear season. The hard part about hunting bears in NJ is luring term into the front passenger seat of a Cadillac and getting the piano wire around their neck....
When you say “bear gun” do you mean a gun for hunting bears where you pick your shot or a gun for self defense against bears ?
As already discussed, if I’m careful I can hunt an kill a bear with a .22 or a sharp stick.
A gun to “stop” a bear in self defense before it can hurt or kill you is a whole different dynamic.
The key is adequate penetration.
Somebody say bear guns?
Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
In Russia, children wrestle bears.

I loved some of the comments on erienewsnow.com which first reported the story. My favorite:
"A .357 can easily take a black bear. If it’s a magnum then it’s leathal to a bear. The rule of thumb is, if you hike or camp in the wilderness, carry a magnum. No other hand gun stops a bear.
I recall a man camping being confronted with a grizzly who had breached the sleeping mans tent. He had a hand gun, fired and hit the bear in the head with a large caliber round. The round ricocheted off the bear because the muzzle velocity was not sufficient enough. Rounds pick up speed as they travel. What might have been a kill shot at 15 feet bounces off at 5 feet."
Had a client tell me her son survived a head shot at close range. Apparently the air pressure increases velocity at longer ranges, so he survived.

Taking a break from social media.
When I saw the thread starting down that path... first thing that popped in my head.
