There is a hunting decorum that I grew up with that might be lost on some. They’re just interested in their rights.

Extreme sharpness is ephemeral!
Even though I have never carried a sidearm. I have always given thought to the idea of being able to carry a handgun. These are my thoughts. Having the holster on the same side as my draw arm seems rather clumsy. I was thinking of having the holster on an angle on my left front side makes more sense tactically when reaching for a fast, engaging weapon response. PS I didn't realise there was such a thing as a crossdraw holster, so my thoughts were pretty much on the money.

Grizzley Bears are fast, nothing to mess with.
unless you have death wish, and you will be dinner.

Also consider a holster rig on the same side as your draw arm that places the holster lower on your leg towards the knee. Seems to be the current trend in the military and tactical police units.

Not unless someone carries a 12 bore shotgun against the bear, just aim straight for the head or face.
Read my post just before yours. Nowhere is a shotgun mentioned when dealing with grizzly bears.

I couldn't give a crap, if, I ever get chase by a bear, trust me, I'll choose the 12 bore against the pistol.
I have many rants but don't want to get kicked off with my first post. Here's a few and some are parables
You have two ears and one mouth; learn to use them in that proportion
Ignorance of the law is no excuse
The dildos of consequences are rarely lubed
Never decide until you absolutely have to
I was supposed to go to anger management classes, but those people just piss me off
Some people have a deficiency of lead in their bloodstream
Never yell at your waiter - or the person you're checking your bag in at the airport
People driving the speed limit in the fast lane
And in following with the grizzly theme, some humor
I was once asked when your in the wilderness hiking with a buddy, what's the best self defense weapon to carry. My response was a .32 concealable pistol because if a bear come after you, shoot your buddy in the knee and run.

Yea, a 12 bore is better than a pistol, but I would still not count on it especially in the case of grizzly bears.
Bears be they grizzly or black are amazingly fast sprinters. I'd bet that if you were close when a charge started that by the time you turned around to run and took a few steps the bear would be on you. Luckily, black bears are not generally known to attack without provocation and are easier to manage.

Only if you happen to be carrying one at the time of the encounter. Otherwise, "it was a good death".
