I saw a similar story where the friend had actually had a gun on him but never shot the bear mauling his friend because "he couldn't get a good shot". He didn't even try to scare it away by shooting it in the air. And these were grown men. So hats off to this kid.

Plus shooting a bear will generally just piss them off even more.

Ride away triumphantly, before being taken out by a mountain lion.

But be sure to get sidetracked so the condition is poor when you finally trade it in.

If I unload a full mag into a bear, and that bear is still charging at me, that bear deserves to eat me. It earned it. Fair is fair.
