Concealed Carry Firearm Advice
I'm looking for some input on my first concealed carry pistol. Also would like to take it with meas back-up for black bearwhile bow hunting and hiking. Hunt in northern Minnesota so freezing temps must be considered.
Thanks

Bridging CCW and bear prevention may be tough. I'm guessing a short barreled revolver in .44 Mag??? CCW is all about concealibility but you need some "power" too. Hopefully, some other ideas will surface here.

RE: Concealled Carry Firearm Advice
Only advice I can give is what I learned. The smaller the firearm the more likely you'll actually be carrying it when you need it. It is my opinion that only little mouse guns are suitable for everyday carry. Otherwise you'll eventually get lazy and stop carrying it. Remember it isn't about power it's about placement.
As for every day carry piece and a bear protection piece. I'm going to stay out of that one. Just don't think they have anything to do with each other.

whoever said "if it ain't small you won't carry it" was right on imo. i'm not a leo but i have a cc permit and always carry a small 25 cal semi-auto in my pants pocket. when i wear a coat/jacket i carry something bigger in a holster that i can conceal . i carry the pistol just to keep people off me or mine.

Yes, I am also starting to think that I may need to get two separate pistols.
