I've had a few similar encounters with black bears, and while I could distinctly feel the hair on my neck stand straight (weird!) the bear was more scared thean me. He ran whereas I stood still.
All you need is a Starter's Pistol to make a loud noise. Equipped with this you won't be tempted to fire at the animal (wounding and enraging it to cause it to attack you), nor will you accidentally shoot yourself or a friend/family member causing anything more serious than a small powder burn and a welt.
