[QUOTE="rammac, post: 1916708, member: 27761"] I posted a link to the article that I referenced, I guess you didn't read close enough - click on the words "this link". The problem is that most people are quoting a study called "Efficacy of Bear Spray in Alaska" and the other report entitled "Efficacy of Firearms for Bear Deterance in Alaska". Both were written by the same author and they were published by one of the Universities in Utah. The author states, in the article that I linked to, that people make the mistake of comparing both reports to each other and he says that this is an incorrect comparison since one report was a study to find out why bear spray works and the other was to find out why guns fail to work. That's not the same premise as which one works better. It's sort of like saying that you did a study asking why an electric car is efficient and and a second study asking why a muscle car is fast and then concluding that the electric car is better than the muscle car. Neither of the two studies compare the data to the other so making any claim that one proves something about the other is baseless - and that's what has happened with these two bear studies. [/QUOTE]
