Bear spray is actually more effective.And its happened more than once that Mr. Macho shot his wife, son, hunting partner etc because he wanted a gun for bear defense over bear spray.

I feel its just the opposite. While I don't carry a side arm in society, I do often time carry one while in the woods. At 5'6" and 160lb, I'm physically on the smaller side to most men in the US. My side arm, in most cases, helps equals the playing field should unforeseen, unprovoked trouble ensues with malevolent, predatory human beings. It is my last resort. There's no machoism involved.One big advantage of a gun over bear spray, is that a loud warning shot will in most cases will prevent a close encounter.
Took many, many stitches to put my face, arm and legs back together after a run in with barbed wire when I was 7 years old. I think I'd rather face the snake.
We have black bears, mountain lion, bobcats, Mexican gray wolves,javalina, AZ black rattlesnakes of which I've killed 4, and so many yotes it's not funny. Oh, and don't go up to 1 of the free range cows as they'll either horn ya or trample you. Luckily we have a lot of hunters which puts the fear of humans in them.
