Stan, being a baby boomer, perhaps you could just pull out your lightsaber and Jedi that bear right down the middle. Personally I’d rather have that pump gun with two loads of buck shot followed up by a solid slugs for when times get nasty. Factory, 12 gauge, 3” slugs going Mach 2, seem to be the new norm. Painful to shoot I expect they would do the job. I figure I should be able to tag him twice with the buckshot and if wounded or if the buckshot failed to do the job it’s be time to get serious. I carry a pistol but am much happier with a pump gun in my hands.
