Does this model have a " bear trap " safety?

I don't know what kind it is but it does have a safety. I like this rifle a lot.

No, there is no bear trap safety but it does have a manual safety. I would never rely on a bear trap safety anyway always hold on to the cocking lever while you are loading a pellet.

There is a safety lever in front of the trigger. Not sure if is a bear trap safety or not. It does work, if it is engaged you can not fire the gun. Hope this helps.

Yes! It DOES have a "bear trap" safety. When the cocking lever is in the fully cocked position you cannot accidentally pull the trigger. The cocking lever must be returned to the normal position before the trigger can be pulled. Never rely on mechanical devices. Always hold on to the cocking lever when your fingers are loading a pellet.

This rifle does have a safety but it is not a "bear trap" safety or an automatic safety. It is a manual one. I love that because I usually shoot alone so I don't have to mess with an automatic safety.

Mine operates smoothly. No catching or sticking. However cameras remain secure. I use secondary secure straps, I have pushed one up and almost out while awkwardly climbing around on rocks. I would suggest removing disc from camera, hold the receiver slide in your hand and scrutinize its operation isolated from whatever might or might not be going on out in the field. Good luck.

I Don't Know. I think a 12 Gauge with a slug would be my choice for bear protection. I know they have special spray and canisters that have a high capacity just for bears I think I would at least try that. I think for personal protection against creeps & weirdoes this will be fine.

Yes. Perfect fit, and seems pretty secure (but haven't tested it against a Grizzly Bear, or a human thief, yet).

No it does not have a safety. However, my 10-year-old has not had any problems with being unsafe with the product. As someone already mentioned, learning to keep ones finger off the trigger until ready to pull it is always the safest way to handle a gun. The gun has been a lot of fun and although there were some quality issues with the stock, it has been powerful and fairly accurate for what it is. I would venture to guess that one would be pressed to find another .22 cal. air gun with a wood stock that does what it does in a similar price range. I would say that it has been worth the money.

I would say no. That never happened for us. I used this for my son a lot and have used it for my daughter as well. My son jumped out if his big crib just after 2 1/2. I don't recall when he was able to get out of the Bjorn but we never had a safety issue with it. It's the best!

Simple answer, as others have said, is no. Google Black Bear Forge. Quality gear, good price.

I would not try or anything larger than a whitetail deer. I would definately not try for a bear without a backup GUN.

Simply, no. the trigger mechanism is very hard to engage without it setting itself off. It relies on friction between two small metal surfaces and it is very much like trying to remove one of the last of the "pick up sticks" - just when you think you got it - bang! Suggest that you get one of the larger one door versions. That is what I did. They have a flip back handle that is as easy to use as it sounds. I have caught racoons, possum, many squirrels, etc. just have to use the right bait.

Yes, the Jorafoam is critter proof (dogs, cats, raccoons, squirrels, etc). For the bear, I suppose if the bear was strong and determined enough, it could knock off the composter off the stand, but I doubt it would be able to open the com poster unit. Either way, I believe a bear attack would be unlikely.

Yes, it is a safety feature. It's easy to accomplish, the Teho trimmers are very light and well balanced

I'd be surprised if it didn't. The case was a gift for my brother and he loves it. He packed it with his Bear and most of the stuff (including clothes) that he needed for a cold ten day hunt in Ohio this November. He said it was great and had a ton of room.

Yes, it does have sufficient safety features to keep you from flipping over. Well designed. It's easy to go backwards and back upright.

I purchased my Jorafirm over a year ago and have never had a problem. We live in a beach community, so do not have bears, but we do have a few raccoons and opposums. The latch has never been defeated by either animal. But a bear? I really don't know if they are dexterous enough to operate the latch.

No, we have not, but the window we have it in is far enough above ground that a bear would not be able to reach it anyway. You might want to give special consideration to that if you have bears in your area. Would also give squirrels some thought as well - they are quite the acrobats and can jump farther than we think. Our purchase was a replacement for an older feeder of this type and the birds have absolutely loved coming to our window feeder for years. It is also a huge source of entertainment for our indoor cat.

I would think if it can repel a bear it wouldn't have a problem repelling a raccoon.

I believe it would, but we have never tried as they are not a problem for us. Mainly the bear! It is very loud and carries for a mile!
