Thanks "Speedsix" for clearing that up for us. That answers my question.

Re: Dog shooter of the week
I agree with you and If I had been carrying I would have shot the dog to protect my family. I love dogs and animals butMany in this forum don't quite get me so my response may create all kinds of reponses but here goes. Who cares what the law is in that situation? Blast the attacking dog and protect your family. Think about it for a minute. You going to sit there and watch a dog maul your dog and do nothing about it becomes some tree hugging pita member is going to get upset you shot the attacking dog? Heck... I wouldn't even call the cops. I would blast that raging wild animal, leave him laying there, and go home for some ice cream. It's a dog... not a human. That was why the cops you called didn't care. I like animals as much as the next person. When they turn on us, they get treated like animals.
when things go wrong family is first. I would still have called 911 because a firearm was involved
and I'm sure someone else would have heard it.

Re: Dog shooter of the week
A couple of years ago my wife and I were out walking our dog in an open field in our neighborhood.
It's on a path that many other people also use to cross the field. At the time I wasn't carrying (no CHL).
I noticed a dog about 200 feet away jumping up against an old wooden fence and barking
finally breaking through and running full speed towards us. (We probably wouldn't have been there if I had ever seen this dog before now.)
With only a few seconds to react I told my wife to get behind me with our Lab.
The attacking dog (60-70lbs rott-mix?) ran straight to our dog and put it's mouth on her neck.
Strangely enough it didn't bite or leave a mark although it could have killed our dog.
It was all I could do to try and hurt the dog before it just left and ran off. We were lucky I guess.
Called 911 and the responding officers were of no help but that's another story.
My question is:
What if I were carrying and took a shot in a safe manner to protect my family from this dog that was barking
and running full speed at us and killed or stopped the dog? Am I in the right?
I wasn't looking at the breed but the animal's attitude coming at us. Very scary for us!!!
