On a related note, in my hick hometown paper they announce hunting successes during the season, particularly for minors. Two years ago there was a 14 year old who dropped a 440 lb black bear with a .222.
The moral of the story: If your solution to a bear problem is going to be a handgun, then you really need to learn what you're shooting at. Poor shot placement will only serve to make the bear angrier.
Also, What Crompsin said.
If bears are really going to be a problem have you considered bear mace? Or is this situation purely hypothetical?
