Not your normal home invasion.

The bear's hide will be used for education after the carcass is examined to verify the homeowner's story. Yamashita said he was sure the man did nothing wrong.

While you fellas were pontficatin' on the varieties of .45 caliber ammo, I zeroed in on this.  Verify the homeowner's story?  What are the other options? He wasn't sure whether or not the bear had a gun so he shot him then dragged him inside?  Or did he lure the bear to its untimely death using a trail of food?  I'm under the distinct impression that if there is a bear in the house, justified or not, you should be able to shoot. 

I now leave the floor open for discussion.
