I know you want confrontation so I will explain it to you. I said that you will use your better judgement and that would be the reason. Didnt say because you were scared of me and I'm bulletproof. If you are dumb enough to lose your life or your freedom because of an animal then I really don't think I can reason with you.
It goes beyond that...in my DHS defiant world I have a right to do what I want as that I don't invade the rights of others.
While I have read you here for a while I don't think you or JR are the kind of cop I would have any problem with. There are some people who should NOT be cops.
But I digress...what I am saying is that I am able to deal with dog problems. So should cops be, they should be equipped to deal with pets in non lethal manner. For the last year I have read numerous threads, reports an stories about cops shooting dogs, this is telling me the police are getting way too far reaching.
I suppose I am saying that for a lot of dog people our dogs are our rights...when the dogs are disrespected we are disrespected. What is the #1 cause of murder today ?? I think it's disrespect in one form or another.
Don't attack my dog and I won't attack you, what choice would I have if an armed person shoots my dog in front of me ?? Conditions would force me to react in self defense. I would not shoot anyone for shooting my dog, but if while in attempted non-violent defense of my property I felt threatened ...legal violence may well follow.
As far as me wanting confrontation, get your money back from the mail order psychology course. It's easy to tell when I want confrontation, this ain't it.
