to me it sounds like neither of these guys had there act together enough in the moment for the status of the pistol to make a damned bit of difference. If I was that guide I am not sure what would make my odds of survival worse, getting chewed, on or having a guy shooting a 10mm pretty much right at me whilst chatting his pants.
I do find the correlation of source, and the articles conviction that a hot pistol would have saved his life, somewhat funny.

Gut wrenching!
To each his or her own. Myself, magazine is topped off with one in the chamber, holstered. I also carry bear spray. Occasionally both, sometimes one or the other. In general, I believe bear spray is the better of the two though both have their advantages.
I've let my guard down. Missed out on a bear on one occasion and an elk on another. Both, interesting enough, after a long dragging hike only to run across the intended game within 500 yards of the trailhead/vehicle. Identification of a threat is different than the intent to hunt though they both play into each other.
What a sad tragedy for all friends and family. Sad.
