Try camping in bear country or hiking anywhere with predators. Or something about 30 wild hogs.

    I don't think there's much wildlife out there that poses a mortal threat. Bear spray works for most, even though more rural and Northern countries do allow shotguns for use against wildlife.

    You don't really need a handgun in your desk to scare off bears tbh

    But in the hypothetical scenario where a bear or 30 boars came at you... You'll wish you did have a gun! /s

    I am pro-gun but people who use wild animals as an excuse for buying handguns are exhausting.

    They aren't an excuse for buying guns. They are an explanation for why certain people in certain situations would legitimately need guns.

    And if they have guns for that situation, they have guns for any situation. And if guns are available for people in those situations to acquire, guns are available for anyone to acquire.
