That was always bullshit. There's more polar bears now then there were 50 years ago, and you can find them ranging even further these days to find food because they'll hunt their primary meat sources to extinction - leading to things like the government here in Canada to deploy either feeding stations or dropping raw meat.
There's been lots of research on that too, and there were two researchers who were in the field for 20-30 years who were fired from universities here in Canada for pointing out that not only is the population not in decline but is becoming detrimental to other animals.

Fuck polar bears.
You have to do required polar bear safety training if you work on rigs on the north slope of Alaska.
They circle you a few times if you don't run and then they move in and kill you. If you do run they just move in fast and kill you.
Moral of the story was don't get too far from a building or vehicle and FUCK POLAR BEARS.
Yeah fuck that. Would carrying a firearm even matter?! You'd need a fucking elephant gun!
Desert Eagle comes to mind.
