I've only ever shot a gun a few times in my life, but I would definitely rather have something on me than nothing if an animal attacked. Could I hit it? In my imagination it seems like it would be super easy, but I know you have more experience so if you're saying it would be hard to do I'm sure you're right.

There is no way that in a stressful situation you would be able to hit a charging animal, at a significant enough distance to stop it reaching you.


People have no clue what it is like trying to work/aim a weapon in a stressful situation. No Clue.
