At the start of the video, the home defender is wearing a helmet and other gear. Those were put on to make the introductory video. He was not wearing that gear when he shot the bear.

Cleanup on aisle 1!................

A black bear? Sounds racist to me!

This is exactly why Madison wrote the 2nd Amendment. /s

This dude is bad to the bone. Sweeps his house with his AR and kills him a big ass black bear. Bad. To. The. Bone.

Cue the “Nobody needs an AR-15” leftists. This guy did.

The [2nd story] window was cracked to allow the house to cool down at night (no air conditioning). The bear pushed the window open and then pushed in the window screen.

Bear was too smart for its own good. And, jeez, keep the firearm next to the bed.

Since he already made a mess on the floor, he should have just butchered the bear right there, and made himself a nice bearskin rug too. If the bear had a tracking collar, he can just go get a helium balloon at the store and take it for a ride. No one needs to know he shot the bear, and then no one will ask any questions.

I liked his comments at the last 30 second of his video.

One blow with a 12 gauge might have done it !!

I’ve heard of “2nd-Story Men” who specialize in burglaring upper floors but a bear? Gonna have to keep the honey in a safe, I guess.

[coloradan]

Wouldn’t she complain?

I’m not quite sure how the bear opened the window. Pushed it up, or out? Anyway, consider using a nail (or something similar) to keep a bear from pushing up an open window.

You might not have bears in your area. But burglars, maybe.

To which I tell those people, it’s a Bill of Rights, not a bill of needs.

[silent majority rising]

So, what Libs call an “Assault Rifle”, is actually a bear killer weapon.

It's OK, it wasn't a Black bear.

Is it them Yogi? Nope, this time, it’s us Boo Boo.

Confusing attacks on humans and attacks on animals is pretty weird. Black folks tend to mock white folks who go up against large animals. They seem to know better. But the Yogi and Boo Boo memes are about crowds of people acting like animals themselves, and attacking other humans.

That was smart! Always drag an intruder into your house after you shoot them
