A .30-30 Winchester or a .30-06 Springfield would do the job. Just remember to shovel and shut up afterwards.

For small arms the best weapon to use against a bear is a Glock 20. If you’re used to toting around a 9mm Glock 19, you might be more comfortable with that. However, an upgrade to a Glock 20 chambered in 10mm and loaded with hard-cast FNs will provide far more stopping power than the relatively paltry 9mm. Carried that in Alaska in lieu of a 44. The locals in central Alaska use them also when they don’t have a 12 gauge set up for slugs. Use all 15 if needed. Probably won’t have to.

Do not go under the house after it. Close space is in the favor of the bear.

Not now, this was a big story in local L.A. TV a few weeks back. He is stuck until Yogi wakes up from his stupor and heads out on his own. Then do a proper job of sealing off that raised foundation home.
