Longish video, the action begins right at the 16 min. mark.......very lucky couple.
if they didnt shoot the bear 4 times there would be no "attack" the people attacked the bear. that guy had a powerful rifle and should take shots that are closer and take some target practiceI call it more of an attempted attack than an attack. And that bear took (7) shots to kill it. (3) with the rifle, then (4) with the handgun.
As for videoing it all, if I had to guess,, the hubby wanted it all on video,, and that was one of his wife's "jobs" that he requested.
She was unarmed,, except for her camera.
And when Miss Penny saw parts of it her comment was; "Looks like his wife was a pack mule, cook & all to cater to his needs. She should have been armed."
They both made several mistakes. They are very lucky.

... By the way, revolvers are not pistols. I pistol is a handgun where the bullet is launched from the barrel, which excludes all revolvers.
Yes, a lot of times, especially in the movies, people referred to revolvers as pistols. But the term started out in the days of muzzle loading rifles and handguns as well. Back then, every gun was muzzle loaded, which meant that the bullet was jamed down the barrel after the powder. So, the term 'pistol' has been loosely used every since, but it really means that the bullet is fired from the barrel, as all todays semi-auto handguns do, but not revolvers.It hasn't always been that way; IIRC, some of the early Colt revolvers were referred to as "horse pistols", like the single-shot firearms that preceded them. And FWIW, the term pistolero was also applied to those skilled in the use of revolvers.
As always, IMHO, YMMV, etc., etc.
Actually it was a normal bear. The "hunters" were unable to recognize their own limitations.That was one bad Azz bear, damn!
Look it up in your Funk and Wagnalls.What a scary episode! I am so glad you had a REVOLVER, a powerful one at that, which saved the day. I liked your 'conclusions'.

Well we could get into the whole thing about pistol versus revolver nomenclature but suffice to say revolvers have been called pistols since their origination.What a scary episode!
