Bears: There are plenty of good guns if you're hunting them, not too many that are effective in a defense situation though. You wanna pack something small, easily carried and drawn? No such thing. If you're out in bear country, be noisy. Tie bells to shoe laces, sing while you hike, just make some damn noise. Bears don't like noise. They WILL avoid you if they know you're there. People get attacked by bears when they surprise them. If you must get a gun, I'd say .50 Beowulf on an AR15 platform, 'cause it's so badass.
