I’ve always said the AR-15 is the best home defense gun, and this story proves it. 🐻💥
When a bear charges into your house, you don’t want to be hoping a couple handgun rounds will do the job. You want something that ends it now. That’s why the AR is a force multiplier.
But I know people love to debate this—handgun, shotgun, or rifle—so tell me: what are YOU grabbing if a bear breaks into your house? 👇

The hat, right to bear arms
I prefer a reaper drone for home defense but that’s just me
That’s crazy I bet that something he don’t ever want to do again
I’m a hollow point guy. But have an AR for backup.
If I could have a suppressor where I live, yes.
Where can I get that hat you got on?
To the point of AR's for home defense, i just remembered that an AR can be anything, whether pistol, rifle, or shotgun. It can even be a crossbow. Or a flare launcher. Or a potato cannon. Or a .50 bolt-action. Of course most of these, you wouldn't use for home defense. But something to think about.
Swinging a shot gun isn’t easy but if you have line of sight, boom sticks do work 😂. Anything is better than nothing…
I prefer a short barreled shotgun because it will hit everything regardless if I’m accurately pointing it.
I’m an AR-15 fan for home defense (suppressed pistol with 55 grain rounds). That said, I conceal carry 9 mm pistol all day until I go to sleep. Why? What I’m carrying at the time beats what I have to fight to get to in a home defense scenario. I totally agree with earlier post; home defense should be layered, to include video cameras, good dead bolt locks, and an active alarm system. Your phone should also be close by so you can call 911.
Depends on the size of the house as well
For a more likely intruder that's not 500+ pounds and hairy, I oftentimes ask myself if I would pick up my 1022 semi and have 10 fast rounds x3 or a 20ga pump. I wouldn't use a 12ga loaded with buckshot in my house or anything larger than a 9mil for over penetration reasons. Still can't decide. Yes, I COULD go get an AR or handgun, but if im working with what I already have, I guess I'll have to wait and hope I never need to actually make that choice.
Edit: Any shotgun in a home is waking everyone up and is most likely going to be very loud and disorienting to the shooter.
Handgun for speed and maneuverability for 2 legged problem, 12ga 00 for bear coming through the window.
For me no less than a AR-15 Pistol 5.56 or better .
For my experience, I would say if it’s an intruder, a shotgun or a handgun but if it’s like a bear shotgun or a rifle because shotgun, they make slugs to take down grizzly bears and that’s called black magic
I'm AR-10 over 15
wonder if having a dog wouldve changed the way this went?
that right to bear arms hat goes hard
Pitbull
“Need” that right-to-bear-arms hat!
Inside of the house, I prefer a short barrel for maneuverability with a can so family dont lose their hearing.
Thing is, if you live in an area with bear activity, HAVE BEAR AMMO. Buffalo Bore makes bear loads for 45 acp and it is VERY effective. Ron Spomer even did a video on it and it was actually amazing how well the projectile went through the intended targets.
AR-15 works for me just fine.
Well, and objective factors is Glazers don't overpenetrate. So there ya go
The first gun I grab is what the intruders are getting hit with.
Shotgun loaded with 00 buck. 1 shot. Done.
I live in vegas, I dont have to worry about bears. Lol. Just humans.
We live in the home my father in law built in New Mexico and he built the walls out of solid concrete because he lived in New Mexico lol
I want a cannon for self defense 🇺🇸
I’ll keep using my honey badger 300aac 220gn suppressed 😂
all just made gun registry easy and who has them
Just use .308 case with .44 slug crammed it,.. no more worries,… or just use 16 gauge with vermin shatter, 3 ft away is best
If u don't have a full complement of cannons and crews are u even defending ur home bro?
Sorry Colion, I’m grabbing my Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol (or Beretta 1301 or Benelli M4). A shotgun delivers higher energy transfer at home defense distances.
His comment on 9mm over penetration only applies to ball ammo. Anyone using 9mm for self defense should absolutely be using quality hollow points. Otherwise, over penetration of the bad guy is definitely a problem. Ball ammo negates all the technological advances in pistol ammo.
Please make sure your family has proper PPE for the ears BEFORE you start squeezing an AR indoors… (dummies)
Handgun,rifle or shotgun to protect me and my family?? I’ll take all three. 😂😂 hell yes. All three.
Well that Black bear didn’t survive the AR, that’s a bonus.
Not pistol, rifle or a shotgun… *and*. The right answer is "and."
Have all of them, but use the that you are the most comfortable with but always be prepared !
