Contestant A and myself -- at separate times -- in an open field with a hungry grizzly bear. Contestant A gets the pepper spray, and I get the handgun with 17 rounds in it (.40 cal).

I don't consider myself an expert in many things outside of work. I have probably put more rounds through a handgun than probably 99.999% of the population, however.
Having stood within 40 to 60 feet of a dozen black bears (one actually charged at me for 10 feet) and a couple of grizzlies about 200 feet over the last 40 years... I can assure you I would take the bear spray over any gun except a shotgun where a bear charges un-expectedly... JMO
