For those of you who do NOT carry at home:

Officials: Pennsylvania Couple Attacked By Bear In Home | Fox News

I think they will carry inside of their home from now on, or lock their doors at least.

BEARS IN MY HOUSE...I need to carry something with more power...357 mag and 40S&W just isn't going to cut it.

Or I could just learn to fight bears.

Can't imagine the looks on their faces.

Same here. It took the wife a while to get used to it but she's fine now and my Mother-In-Law looks as though she's going to explode when she notices(which I think is great).

Im gonna have to show this to a few people, I always get made fun of for wearing a gun around the house tucked into the sweat pants...

Well, we don't have too much of a bear problem here in Newburgh, but I doubt my G19 would do much but **** the bear off. I guess it would be up to Leonidas keep him busy while I can get upstairs to grab something a bit more bear-appropriate.

How do you keep your pants up? Do you really just tuck it straight into the sweats?

All married men should. You never know WHEN PMS will strike.....

I almost never take my carry pistol off until its time for bed, and even when I do, its right next to me on the end table. That, and the shot gun & AR that I normally keep out of the safe when we are home. (Current schedule has an adult in the house 99% of the time) While I am pretty sure bears are not a threat in our state, any of the other possibilities should be covered with my and the wifes carry pistols.

I saw an episode of a TV show where a cop comes in, takes off his gun and puts it on the table, then goes upstairs... comes back down and gets shot with his own gun.

between that TV episode and the bears, I think it will stay on the hip until I go to bed or get in the shower.

I recall that ending badly for Plaxico Burress. Might want to pick up a shoulder holster or something.

How come thet bear always gets the benefit of the doubt.
It followed the family dog into the house and attacked people but may have been protecting it's cubs?

It's propaganda. Wildlife people like us to think that as humans we are above the food chain. Somehow all animals abide by unwritten rules of never attacking human beings unless they are starving or the moral reasoning is just. Mountain lions don't attack people randomly, grizzlies aren't aggressive, and coyotes have dibs on your livestock because we encroached on "their" land.

Back on subject, I'm not too worried about a home invasion by a bear in central Indiana. If this was in PA it must have been a black bear. Black bears are nowhere near as big or as dangerous as brown bears. You wouldn't need a huge caliber weapon to put one down if needed.
