Reply #12: Most likely a nice dog is dead

because of two idiots. The owner for leaving his dog unleashed, breaking the law, and the gun owner for not knowing how to handle a dog situation.

I sometimes carry when out biking. However, I'd never shoot a dog unless he got pass the bike that I hold between me and the dog when threatened by the dog. It is easy to get off the bike and keep the bike between you and the dog. There is a much greater danger if it involves several dogs.

The law requires all dogs to be on a leash. That is a good law that protects the dog and the public.


I'd say this story is a toss up.
