Default What would you do if confronted by a bear?

We are not hunters but I wonder what the suggested action would be if someone encountered a bear like in these pictures? What if a child was nearby or on the balcony and thought it was a big dog? I haven't heard of a encounter in this area yet but there have been maulings in New Jersy and Tennessee within the past few years.

I have foxes and fisher cats travel through my yard at different times of the year. I also bring my little dog out at night on a leash and carry a small bat. Should I upgrade to a hand gun? Any suggestions?
