7 Things You Wanted to Know About the Bear Shooting

A viral video showing a man confronting and fatally shooting a bear inside his home has sparked widespread interest online. The incident occurred in the early morning hours when the homeowner, now widely referred to as “The Bear Guy,” encountered a black bear in his kitchen.

The homeowner, armed with a suppressed 11.5-inch Geissele Super Duty AR-15 chambered in 5.56, descended the stairs after suspecting something was amiss. As he entered the kitchen, the bear charged. Reacting swiftly, he fired seven rounds of Hornady Critical Defense 55-grain ammunition, stopping the animal just feet away.

In the follow-up video above, the homeowner answered seven of the most frequently asked questions:

  1. Did you get to keep the bear? No. He contacted both the sheriff and Parks and Wildlife. In self-defense bear shootings, the animal is collected by authorities.
  2. How did the bear get in? It climbed a second-story deck, opened a cracked window by pushing in the screen. Due to mountain weather and a lack of AC, the window had been left ajar.
  3. Is your hearing okay? Yes. The firearm was equipped with a suppressor, and the shooter routinely suppresses all his guns.
  4. Did you know it was a bear? No. He only confirmed it upon visually identifying the animal inside the home.
  5. What gun did you use? A Geissele Super Duty 11.5-inch AR-15 in 5.56, which he described as a personal favorite.
  6. Any damage to the house? Minimal. All seven rounds hit the bear. One fragment nicked the floor, but no other property damage was reported.
  7. What ammo did you use? Hornady Critical Defense 55 grain. Despite common skepticism about the 5.56 round on large animals, the ammunition performed effectively.

He concluded the video with a message encouraging preparedness and self-responsibility, especially for those caring for others. “You should have agency,” he said, urging viewers not to be passive in moments requiring assertive action.

This incident highlights a rare but real possibility of wildlife intrusions, even inside a home. It reinforces the value of readiness, proper equipment, and a clear understanding of when and how to use deadly force. This shooting, while unfortunate, was justified due to an imminent threat from a charging bear in close quarters.

Self-defense isn’t always about confronting human threats. In rural or mountainous regions, predators can pose a danger as well. Having the means and mindset to respond appropriately can mean the difference between life and death.
