I just mentally imagine everyone carries rifles for bears. Is that a problem.

You'd also be pretty surprised how different trash cans are - we've got that in BC as well in some parts due to the bear problems.

Outside the cities most people will carry weapons. In the city fewer do, but bear spray is the go-to bear deterrent in the city parks and trails
