I get a kick out of people that cary side arms under the pretense that they have them to protect them from cougar attack.If a cougar decides it is going to protect there territory and attack you,chances are you would accidentally shoot your self trying to get the weapon out in defense
I personally know a guy who was laying down and glassing a canyon for elk near Randle. He sensed something behind him and saw a cougar 10-15 yards away crouched and ready to pounce him. He calmly swung his rifle on him and plugged him dead. So every scenario is different and i would take my chances with a firearm and a knife.
