Carrying a SS-211 for Bear Defense

[u/Locojester16]

Recently purchased an ss-211 cos its hilarious, but my best option for something short enough/with enough punch to stop a Grizzly. I live in a fairly small town in BC, and we are lucky enough to be surrounded by crown land however, there are a shit ton of grizzlies and with the amount of close calls/time I spend outside I figured something besides bear spray would be a good investment. My question is this:

Is it safe to carry this thing loaded with safety on in a belt holster? If not, what are some other options/safe bets that allow reasonable deployment time as well as a safe carry option when hiking through rugged terrain.

Agree but it's all i got for the time being. Wish i could have a 45-70 but way she goes. Would love if you could maybe DM those videos so I could get a better idea of what to look for in the future! Thanks man
