Well, also human - human interaction is governed by the law, and a whole section of society exists to uphold the law.
The bear is no respecter of the law, and there is very little enforcement of human law in the woods. If the camp was guarded by professionals who would use appropriate force and measures to drive away bears and wild dogs, etc - then I wouldnt need a metal
But if I as all alone in the wild, with vicious creatures who would eat me as soon as look at me, I would feel the need to be able to protect myself.
In society the law protects me (or at least aims to)
