I might be spending the night in missoula on thursday (Costco parking lot) on our way to Yellowstone. I've got the bear spray and the 44mag.
I have a Freedom Arms model 83 in . 454Casull. My cylinder only holds 5, and yes I carry 5 in it hammer on safety "click". Not much in North America the 1st shot won't deter from further mischievious activities including life itself.
