A .410 for “last resort for bear protection” is probably the last choice on my list to carry in bear country.
As far as the 28 gauge slug discussion, I have always toyed with the idea of a 28 gauge Repro as a close range (certainly not for bean field applications) deer gun for still hunting or sitting on the ground or a tree stand.
It would certainly need to be target tested for accuracy at ranges out to say, effective bow ranges and not much more.
