NY - Grandpa Shoots Bear Menacing 4 Grandkids

[Kevlar]

A Parksville man shot and killed a large adult black bear that was menacing his daughter at her Parksville home Sunday. The woman was inside with her four children.

The bear attempted to break into a bedroom window of the home and swatted at the dog on the porch, said State Department of Environmental Conservation spokeswoman Wendy Rosenbach.

I bet he used a 9!

I'm pretty sure it was a .22 at point blank range in the ears

Rosenbach said the bear had been tagged and had been a nuisance to others before.

Whatever he used to dispatch the pesky omnivore, he likely saved someone a lot of misery down the road.

Good to hear no charges were filed against the man who shot the animal. It would be even better if the state gave him an award for saving lives.

Wow, where the heck did a citizen of NY come across a gun? I thought only criminals, and privileged celebrities had them.

I disagree I think if a black bear made it all the way into New York City and this guy was the one to finally take it out they'd name a street after him.
