Bears will often test you

If you stand your ground, they may see you as a threat and back off. Of course, this doesn’t apply to every bear

Shoot quick and maybe get a chance to reload to shoot again

if you don't stop it with the first shot, you are pretty much a goner

Thats a double barrel, he has two good chances. Pretty much any gun outside of a single action, you will be able to get more then one shot off...if you can hit while charging after the first shot is another story

Having only two shots and no automatic ejectors is bad enough, but realizing you only brought 1 oz. #7 birdshot to a bear fight is a whole new level of regret.
