Just another example of being ready for the bizarre and unexpected, and being ready to fight with whatever is available (and having your weapon ready for use and on your body) can't be understated.

That's it exactly, eastbank.as a good friend said to me( DOGS DON,T BITE, UNTILL THEY DO). where little children get into trouble is, that they don,t know better and think all dogs are like the friendly mutt next door and go right up to them and try to pet or play with them.
You might be surprised at some people's irrational love for animals. I don't know if it has changed with time, or there are different attitudes in different places.Um, so what's your answer then, if you're out for your evening perambulation, and you're confronted with a large aggressive dog, that's escaped his yard and is on the public road, giving off attack indicators that even a member of The Squad could read?
Are you then contending that you must be able to display numerous deep punctures and tears from doggie teeth around your femoral artery or neck to have to "prove" your life was in danger?
This is what I pay Mike (my attorney's name) to do- explain things and ask other people quaestions. If I have the right to reamin silent, I will gladly exercise that right.Normally, when accused of a crime, you could just say you didn't do it and that would put the burden of proof on the state. In a case like this, to claim self-defense or defense of property, you would have to admit to shooting the dog which essentially destroys your ability claim that you didn't do it. So you will start out admitting to an act that looks like a crime--leaving the burden of proof on you to show that what you did was justified under the law.
Man, ain't that the truth? Never really thought I'd have somebody argue with me about shooting a dog that was attacking people.That's what we do here; we make everything complicated.
A month ago, this gator showed up with a body of this woman in its mouth. Cops killed it yet had to explain the gator was "humanely" killed. You know, to avoid hurting candlelight vigil souls.You might be surprised at some people's irrational love for animals.

In the 70s in Indiana our German Shepard got onto a neighbor's farm and was shot. Same thing with our dachshund. The neighbor told my dad the dachshund was sniffing at his cows, and that was the end of it.
20 years ago in Palm Beach County, somebody's pet tiger- not a German Shepard, not a pit bull- a full grown 600 pound TIGER was shot by an FWC officer. It ran loose in rural Palm Beach County for 26 hours, until the officer walked up on it in thick brush.
There were 200 people at a candlelight vigil for the poor dead harmless tiger. Why did they have to shoot it? The officer "fired five shots with an M-4 rifle, killing the tiger", sending the owner "into a spiral of grief".
REMEMBER when Bobo, the 600-pound tiger, escaped in Palm Beach County?
