Don't ask me what "possession of a firearm" means. I don't know.

Looks like she was not allowed to posses a firearm.

Around here most dogs thought to be domestic are usually chased away the first few times and the owner located if possible. After a couple of times of dug up crops/gardens or a dose or two of aggressive behavior, then then the three S's kick in.

S -shot
S -shovel
S -shut-up

I love dogs and recently rescued one myself. However, with five grandchildren (ages 9mo - 4yrs) to protect when they visit, I will not tolerate an aggressive dog ON MY PROPERTY, for long. If a person had a weapon in their hand and charged you while yelling or screaming at you, would you shot? Well, have about a dog doing the same with a mouthful of sharp teeth. Just saying...............

"They're not aggressive dogs at all. That's why I couldn't understand why she shot them," said Lila Villa, the dogs' owner.

While I am not about to defend the actions of the shooter, I do not necessarily agree with these type of statements from dog owners. I have an adorning land owner who has a mixed breed dog that he claims is just as docile as can be. However, this dog has charged me more than once while on my property. Both times I was able to jump though the cedar branches to avoid his advance. Domestic or not they are still animals that revert to their instincts.
