Re: Tough one - loose dog - their property

How about carrying a cane with a little extra bite?

There are several YouTube videos about it.

Re: Tough one - loose dog - their property

If you did actually shoot the dog, the protection you would need is here:
PC §9.22. NECESSITY. Conduct is justified if:
(1) the actor reasonably believes the conduct is immediately necessary to avoid imminent harm;
(2) the desirability and urgency of avoiding the harm clearly outweigh, according to ordinary standards of reasonableness, the harm sought to be prevented by the law proscribing the conduct; and
(3) a legislative purpose to exclude the justification claimed for the conduct does not otherwise plainly appear.
The only problem is that if you were charged, it would be up to you (or rather, your attorney) to prove you were justified under PC §9.22.
