My coworker has a similar “joke”: Why do you hike with a handgun in bear county? So that, when the bear charges, you can shoot yourself and not have to experience being shredded to death.
The video is by a guy who runs a hunting channel. He dives into the old gun-versus-bear-spray question by interviewing attack survivors and game management personnel, getting some formal training, running through simulated attack drills, etc. The results are sobering. I appreciated his humble approach to the topic. I’ve heard too many people confidently say their 10mm Auto is all they need.
Or, the other, darker joke about two friends going backpacking, and one has a .22 “bear gun.” When his friend says, “a bear gun? What’s that going to do to a bear?” And his friend replies, “Oh, it’s not for shooting the bear. It’s for shooting you in the leg, so the bear gets you and I can get away.”
