I means that if you are ever in the unfortunate situation where you need a gun, it's better to have one than not have one.

This is a wonderful example. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2026914/Mum-bear-eating--Final-phone-calls-woman-19-eaten-alive-brown-bear-cubs.html

If the girl had a gun instead of a cell phone she could have shot the bear instead of calling her mom and crying about a bear slowly eating her.

Would a handgun take down a bear or just make it angrier?

yes, yes it will.

Several accounts of 9mms killing large bears and there isn't much reason to carry anything less than 9mm. With a pistol shot placement is everything you wont get a large shock wave and massive kill-shot area you get with a rifle but, you can defend yourself.

If she was eaten alive, it couldn't have hurt to try.
