Which concealed carry piece in bear country?

Again - all you need in the Eastern US is something that will stop a human attack. You have a higher likelihood of being attacked by a shark wearing a clown suit than a black bear.

X2!

Lol. But I don't disagree. unless you have a dog to protect you should be fine.

Yep. just give the bears some space and try to avoid pissing them off.

Anybody with experience hunting bear with a handgun? What would you carry concealed while hiking in north GA black bear country with your family? I need to conceal it under summer clothes because we hike in areas where we see gun-phobic yuppies.

What is your normal every day carry (EDC) ?
