I don’t think this guy would have had time to unholster a firearm, at least initially. But when the bear came back around on him he could have had a firearm trained on it. I think I would have.
I suspect cubs are somewhere in the mix.

When swimming in the ocean, or out hiking in wilderness anywhere on this earth, (or in a big blue city), you are no longer the top of the food chain.
What is scary and telling to me, is this is a fundamental part of situational awereness. Folks totally miss that connection: people are not (accurately) and do not evaluate their environment for safety threats. Ever. They just assume they will always be safe and never harmed, even when willfully entering hostile territory.
I can’t believe that bear attacked me!
I can’t believe that mountain lion charged at me!
I can’t believe that shark tried to eat me!
I can’t believed I got mugged!
Stupid people are everywhere… and they get to vote!
BRING ME MY BROWN PANTS!
I believe this was in Japan….where 99.9% of the population are banned from owning handguns.
Wow. He was fortunate with his position for defense. The bear must have have been following him for sometime to be on the rocky peak.
