That's a difficult decision, and unless she's one hell of a pistol shot, it likely wouldn't do much good anyway.
She'd need either a .44 Magnum, .454 Casull, .460 S&W, or other such caliber in a handgun; a rifle in .300 Win Mag, or larger for a rifle. Second, the bear likely isn't offering a stationary target, so a single kill shot is nearly impossible. Grizzly bears are amazingly fast at shorter distances...
There are a host of other reasons why you shouldn't carry a gun of any type if you don't have the skills necessary to disable or kill the animal on the first shot.

Bear spray would be better for her and most people.

I don't have an answer. Other than that no way is a bear just as important as a human being.

Most assuredly, in Grizzly bear country you should never walk without it.

Interesting that you bring up the ocean since it’s “Shark Week”!

Let me just point out that there are 8 billion humans on earth now and approximately 2 thousand grizzlies!
