Colorado homeowner emptied pistol to kill bear that broke in
Kelly Mauldin had just been awakened by the couple’s barking dogs that didn’t wake up her husband before dawn on Saturday. She walked to the door of the couple’s bedroom and found herself staring at a male black bear weighing about 400 pounds (181 kilograms) — about 10 feet (3 meters) away in the dining room.
In an interview, Ken Mauldin said he grabbed his 40-caliber pistol, took his wife’s place at the door and shot once, aiming for the center of the bear’s body. He thinks the first shot hit the bear and it charged him as Mauldin continued firing.
As he was shooting, the bear got as close as 5 feet (1.5 meters) from Mauldin and then turned toward the stairs leading to the home’s front door. The bear crashed through a bannister as Mauldin emptied the gun and slid down the stairs, mortally wounded.
I hope he had a bear tag, or he's got some 'splaining to do.It would seem a .40 S&W will get the job done though it took and entire mag dump. Luckily the intruder wasn't a Grizzly, they'd be packing the homeowner away in a body bag.

Damn.
I'd pee all over myself and then run out of the house if that ever happened to me!
Poor bear. Was just looking for a sammich and not necessarily a human one.
I heard it was a bad kill, the bear had his paws raised at the time and was unarmed.Poor bear. Was just looking for a sammich and not necessarily a human one.
Yep. But once they get it in their heads that humans have the food, it's all over.Poor bear. Was just looking for a sammich and not necessarily a human one.
Just yelling at a black bear or clapping your hands, sends a black bear running most of the time. Or allowing it to get a sandwich would have resulted in less damage to his house than all the bullets.
However, Americans think first of killing with their guns, and acting rationally to the situation last. Amusing!
If the barking dogs didn't do it... Clapping sure as hell wouldn't have. You. Are a moron.Just yelling at a black bear or clapping your hands, sends a black bear running most of the time. Or allowing it to get a sandwich would have resulted in less damage to his house than all the bullets.

Piss and shit would be hitting that Bear face from how fast I would be running and pissing and shitting myself…Run now, pee later or you'll lose valuable traction.
Have you ever seen the inside of a cabin after a bear had gotten in? I didn't think so.Just yelling at a black bear or clapping your hands, sends a black bear running most of the time. Or allowing it to get a sandwich would have resulted in less damage to his house than all the bullets.
