It appears that he was lucky, all told. Could have been a lot worse.

Not a method I'd ever want to try in real life, but I am very glad to hear that it worked.

Seriously? It was adopted on December 15, 1791. The text reads:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and Arm bears, shall not be infringed.

The proper technique is to reach down the bear's throat, grab his tail, and pull him inside out. I think it was a Davy Crockett story.
