.....And their daddy is in jail.

For shooting a DOG? Where the hell do you live? I sure wouldn't want
to be there.

You bet your sweet ass. Every hear of animal cruelty? IN the OP situation,
the dog was GROWLING at the kids. IMHO a good attorney would argue that
growling did not constitute an iminent danger. If the dog were ATTACKING -
no problem.

Seems like a ridiculous situation but unless you live in the boonies of cow
country you better have a damn good reason to shoot ANYTHING or you will go
to jail or at least get sued by the animal's owner.


So you would have my kids mauled while I stand by watching it. Lovely.

What an idiotic comment - needs no response.


Yes. You wouldn't want someone who doesn't know what they're doing,
using deadly force. I guess those people get to dial 911 and wait, and
hope for the best.

Frankly, the way most people shoot, and especially under a pressure
situation - they'd probably miss the dog and hit the kids. I repeat - if the
dog is standing there growling - you have no right to shoot it. And if it's
a rapidly moving target running towards your kids - you have just as good a
chance at hitting your kids.

Rambo might make the shot - doubt about too may people in real life.




Use a gun properly and you may save a life...use it wrong and you may
spend the rest of your life in jail and bankrupt your family.

And shooting a dog is wrong in your mind, when it's attacking your
family? If not, then why did you bother to respond as you did?
