That didn't take long. The following is a policy statement:

I do not carry a firearm anywhere because I consider them to be more trouble than they are worth in light of my personal level of risk from attack by humans or wild animals.

Okay, now that's out of the way, I hope you are aware that any bear attack fatal or not hurts really, really bad. Also, the last I heard the leading cause of bankruptcy in the United States was excessive medical expenses. Don't believe me, go pick a fight with a bear and see how you feel afterward. If there is one.

Since this forum is intended for the discussion of gun-related public policy issues or the use of firearms for self-defense would you care to actually address the OP and thereby elevate the discussion here at DU, or would you rather just trot out more juvenile snark?
