It is a terrible tragedy, I hope the family can find some peace.
IMO validating the client's abilities on the pistol was nearly as big an issue as not making sure they had their spray handy. Frankly, if I were the guide I would not want someone who I didn't have a boatload of confidence in shooting at me and a bear, whether people want to believe it or not, their fine motor skills are going to have fled their body immediately. I would way rather have them hosing us both down with bear spray.
