On a sidenote: All the points you listed apply to Canada pretty exactly and they hardly need police at all (in the parts that i know very well which is BC and NWT). Also thinking a shotgun is gonna help you with a grizzly is a major fallacy. What you need is bear spray (most effective), or a .45 magnum and exceptional aim to hit the brain on shot #1. If you shotgun the bear hes gonna live for 3-4 minutes and those will be your last (I encountered a couple of grizzlys in the wild, one fake charged me even from under 20 yards).
