I'm of the opinion that bear spray is probably a pretty decent deterrent for a bear thats in "checking you out and sizing you up mode" but I wouldn't want to rely on it for stopping a bear in full charge. Think he'd run right through it.
By the same token I'm not convinced relying on a rifle or shogun is a 100% guarantee. Lots of factors in play not the least of which is the person holding it.
