What gun for grizzlies?

My pardner John swears by the Beretta Jetfire in .22 short. Since you never hike dangerous bear territory without a buddy, he reasons than when a furious old silvertip charges you can shoot  your trail-mate in the kneecap and stroll nonchalantly back to the truck. He seems to suggest an in-law as the ideal companion in these circumstances

"I don't have to outrun the bear...I just have to outrun you!"

:), yep.

And another pal added the African survival adage: You don't have to outrun the fastest lion. You just have to outrun the slowest gazelle.
