Frankly, the way most people shoot, and especially under a pressure

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.



In Texas they shoot the neighbor if he growls at them.
