They've got bear proof trash cans here in Alaska... not sure if you can get them in your neck of the woods. We've got to keep our trash in the garage until the morning of pick up in the summer. $500 bones if you get caught with a bear going through you shit! 
Quoted:
he dosent stay long once he been seen. They usually don't... not blackies. Want to see some funny shit? Hit his ass with an air horn when he's got his head in your trash. He'll shit and piss all over himself on his way into the next county. |

I remember a few years ago, a guy in our area killed a blackie that was bugging him with a pistol...a .357 mag IIRC. The dude got hammered by the justice system. He ended up paying a stiff fine and did probation.
Claimed that the bear was tearing up his trash and scaring the hell out of his family. Didn't matter. He paid the piper anyway.

If the bear had a pistol was it not a good shoot

Ok, I'm going to assume you do not wish to shoot the bear with a firearm. Harass him with a stream of paintballs from a paint ball gun. The paintballs move a little under 200mph and should get his attention. He runs off painted, but not harmed. The paint wears off and if he doesn't come back everybody wins!
However, make sure you have a real gun within reach should the bear instead get pissed and run at YOU. You never know what a wild animal will do. I generally have a rule against messing with wild animals of any kind unless I am there specifically to KILL them...
