Disinformation about handgun defensive use against bears

[montana]

Here is a follow up story about a fatal encounter with a Grizzly bear in my neck of the woods. The local news blamed the victim for using a toiletry bag to collect blue berries she had in her tent. The reality was she never had any food in her tent during the attack and there was food on a bike 10 feet away, which the bear completely ignored. It was a predatory attack and the bear spray was a total failure.. The older I become, the more I see disinformation being used to push narratives. Not one time has any local news agencies or any person with an official position recommend firearms for self defense, even though it is the most effective method for stopping bear attacks. I support using bear spray, but I also highly recommend carrying a firearm. If I'm ever surprised by a bear while sleeping, it will be my Gock 10mm I reach for first..Then I'll kick my dog in the back side for not giving me ample warning
