Misc Carrying a SS-211 for Bear Defense
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.

would also like to say that I'm strapped for cash and went with this as it fit the requirement for compact and boom. Also got a nice deal. As much as i'd love a nice 45-70 or a DA Shorty that just isn't in the cards. I get it's not ideal and I get no shotgun is dropsafe technically. Mostly just wanted some suggestions or annecdotes on ways to effectively carry this thing! Thanks yall
