Who in their idiotic mind would even think this would be legal, and they were not going to get into any trouble over it?

I get it. It's real hard to make Canard Aux Cerises if the neighbor's dog steals your duck.

 

[Dinglenutz]

Shooting the gun into the dog would have at least been safe and effective.

I wonder if he can use the Biden made me do it defense?

Crossbows are silent, just saying. That being said now I'm in the mood for roast duck over at the 99Ranch market.

I don't own a duck. I do however own a dog who is practically my best friend (I love him more then the majority of humans). If my dog was being attacked I wouldn't be shooting into the air I'd be creating a canoe out of the attacking dogs face.

Actually, in many areas, it is legal to shoot a dog to defend your pets or livestock.

Agreed. Maybe people should stop getting angry at mother nature. I mean, a dog is certainly going to want to chase a duck.


Ducks are food. Dogs aren't. At least not here in the good 'ol USA.

But California

Oh - well, in some states it is illegal to make a pretend gun with your fingers.

California is probably one of them.

Yes, I understand this, living in a semi-rural area outside of city limits, and knowing of a few instances of it happening in the area over the years however the difference being I KNOW the laws for my area - such as those regarding firearm discharge.

Judging by the appearance of the area and the fact he was arrested (and in CA) I'll take a guess and say it wasn't legal in his area.

Meanwhile, how many gangbanger shots rang out in the Modesto/Stockton area that past weekend? I guess those don't count.

I'd probably go to jail but my reaction would be the same whether I was walking down a street in Portland or out on the farm. Maybe I would choose an edged weapon instead of a gun in the city but I would still defend my friend (my dog). I'd just like to avoid getting but if at all possible.

I recall that airguns are not firearms in OR, now that I think about it.

Leash laws were created for this very purpose.

Most cities include them in their ordinances about discharging within city limits
