A55hole pet owners
Here is the link to the story I'm referring to. Have a look at it first so you know what I'm talkin' bout.
Some dipshit named "michael techboy" posted this comment on that page:
1) Why was this genius carrying a gun during a dog walk? Sounds like he was waiting for a chance to pull that gun and use it.
2) What damage did the greyhound owner receive?
3) What damage did the "mastiff" receive?
My feeling is that this gun owner over stepped his bounds. All I can say is he better be glad it wasn't me on the other end of that lead. My dogs are like my kids, are not kept in kennels and have their own full size day beds to sleep on. They are part of my family. If ANYONE ever brought harm to me by pulling a gun in the manner described, that boy would have EATEN his gun. I would have defended my life, the life of my dog and someone would be less one male family member this morning.
The shooter needs to be charged. I hope he hasn't procreated. The world needs less of these thin necked John Wayne wannabes.
To which I replied with:
1)Win a Darwin award at the hands of the greyhound owner who not only packs a loaded gun but clearly knows how to use it and could easily shoot your sorry ass next.
2)Be shot dead by police.
3) Spend the rest of your existence getting humped up the rear as Bubba's b***h in prison.
It's a no-win situation for you unless you act like a responsible dog owner and keep your damn pooches under control at all times. If not, I sure hope your cellie is a good sport on your backside!
And then the little punk responded with this lil gem:
Now there's a lot of controversy about SYG when it comes to defending yourself against other humans, but there is none as far as the law is concerned when it comes to using deadly force against an dog attack!
People like this really piss me off. I honestly hope he ends up being killed in a gunfight that he initiates. If he weren't so ret*d he'd realize that SYG means what the greyhound owner did was perfectly legal. If I lived in his neighborhood, boy, I'd keep a fully automatic in my house.
If a dog attacks you (or your dog), you're perfectly within your rights to kill it if that what it takes to stop it. If that dogs owner is so ticked he pulls a gun on you, then yes he actually would have been within his rights to shoot him.
I find it HIGHLY amusing that he asks why the other dog owner was carrying his gun when he goes off about his gun and his license to carry it.

well I admit I don't really know what is going on here......but if someone ever tried shooting my dog(actually my friends dog but I don't care she's still family) I'd go off on them. No one f*cks with my family! grrrr! But yeah the only reason she would 'attack' is if someone was threatening me or my friend or friends of ours she knows are ok. But yeah no they have no right to shoot her because they are the one who set her the hell off.

Well I hope you don't let your dog run free and if she has aggressive tendencies towards other people or dogs then you'd better have the means and the know-how to control her. If your dog does get 'set off' by something when she's off her territory then people DO have the right to use deadly force against her if she attacks. Like it or lump it. Funny how you identify more with the jackass than with the greyhound owner whose dog was attacked without provocation.

Oh no she is very well kept, even spoiled...ha ha, she is a very good dog, but also very protective but yeah my friend and I are aware of this so we do have to contain her at times. But even so people still have to be warned to move slow and not aggravate her because she will attack perceived threats. But no I can't see her going off and attacking someone unless they actually presented a threat, I imagine they would have to directly threaten this property for her go into attack mode in which case any competent law enforcement official could see the dog did what it should do in such a situation. But yeah she's the sweetest dog ever if you know her, but she will not hesitate to protect her pack. Lol if someone tried to cause harm to me they would be lucky if all they get is a hand injury from the dog protecting me.

People that have dogs like that are really overcompensating for something. Nothing is worse than your low class pitbull owner who thinks their dog is incapable of doing harm. If you can't control your dog and it attacks another dog or a person then deadly force is 100% justified.
What I found most amusing about the issue is the clear bragging. If he had been in that situation, 'that boy' would not have 'eaten his gun'.
It's a bit too easy to be a white knight in theory these days. People assume too quickly they'd be heroes, saviours, standing up for what they think is good in the face of danger.
Thing is, whoever shot the dog demonstrated having a lethal firearm ready. In a practical situation, almost any person would have obeyed the shooter.
I've seen some interesting footage of a massacre in the Balkans where a lot of grown men were shot in a ditch. All it took was one Serb with a firearm aimed at them to keep them under control, and they completely obeyed even when they saw and realised they were in line to be shot cleanly in the back of the head by a second Serb. I'd say this guy wouldn't go beyond that to protect his dog.
Shoot first, ask questions later

Even better

My dog would only do harm when nessisary, and if anyone shot her they would have hell to pay.

Um, if your dog perceives a threat from someone that isn't actually there(do NOT say it can't happen!)and attacks, that person could report your dog to animal control and they will confiscate her and if the person is injured you could easily get a lawsuit and a judge could have your dog put to death. The point is that dog attack victims have the law on their side, regardless of whether or not they choose to defend themselves with lethal force. A dog that attacks and seriously injures another person is pretty much dead meat because in many places the law requires that they be executed. If you haven't already, you'd better train your dog to know when to retrain herself and when not to. People have faced criminal charges because they had vicious dogs that attacked and killed somebody(not that your dog is vicious but I hope you get the point).
