"I'm shocked," Norby said. "No one goes out with a full clip (in a gun) to garden unless they intend to use it."
The quote from the judge is troubling. So if I carry a gun through the course of a day do I intend to use it because I'm carrying it with a "full clip"? Just because I have a gun doesn't mean I'm looking to shoot something/someone.
Don't EVEN get me started. For the last several years my fence-line neighbor on the back of my property has had two huge Rottweilers that literally patrolled my fenceline, would lie at the base of the fence and go berserk whenever I was behind my house - kind of like my back yard. I called the Sheriffs dept on several occasions and told them about this and in all honesty nothing had happened yet but with a small child at home I was concerned. They told me the owner could be cited for menacing dogs and whenever I wanted they would send an animal control person out and basically follow me around on my normal pursuits for 15 minutes and if during that time they witnessed what I described they would go slap a $250 per dog fine at the owner. I told them I really did not want to be bad guy here and would try to deal with it on my own but I did add that they needed to understand these dogs were not a couple of Bengies but probably 150 lb + each dogs straight out of hell AND if one or the other ever made it through my fence I would dump it on sight, to which the deputy essentially told me I would have the right to do, If I was threatened by them. They knew about them as they had complaints from other people in the past. Finally about two years ago I was looking out my back window and one of them was halfway under my fence. I told my daughter to stay in the house and I jumped in my pickup and drove down my road and up to the back of his property to as close as I could get and saw the owner standing at the fence line and I told him I had put up with this long enough and he needed to do something about it NOW! I must have made an impression as he apologized and immediately went to work repairing the hole and told me one of the two was ailing (I had previously noticed it limping) and was dying but he was prolonging the inevitable with meds. I softened a little but I was still firm about the length of time I had put up with it and was trying to be the good guy by by not going legal with him. Long story short he finally had the one put down and the other he calls in whenever I am outside and it is barking. Time finally cured a large part of the problem but I'll admit, there were times when frustration drove me to to the point of concocting 'alternative' ways of dealing with the problem.......Anyone else confused or bothered by loose dogs?

No thanks. But what do you mean by "easily they cane be taken care of"?As far as the dog,the guy was afraid of it.That was the other problem. I quit being afraid of dogs when I got my Rot mix and realized how easily they can be taken care of.
Yes you do have to be willing to get bit.
If I have to "register pain" on a dog, defending myself, I'm not going to wait until the dog chooses to yield. If an animal (including thugs) is not afraid of humans, then in my opinion the animal at any moment could become violent (unless it's deathly-ill, and even then).And yes I have gotten into the middle of dog fights multiple times.Once you are the aggressor they kinda want to stop
Pits and AMSTAFs can be a little different.They don't seem to feel pain,or register pain,I don't know.
