Oregon Shooting At Dogs

[Maija]

My neighbor shot at my docile hunting dogs with his BB gun last Sunday, before my dogs had left my property, and was pulling the trigger with me in his line of fire. I've filed a report with the Sheriff. He might be charged with a felony by the DA and lose his Second Amendment Rights as a result. Does anyone know if the other three adults who were present and didn't try to stop him can be charged as accessories to this felony?

My neighbor shot me in the bum with a pump up pellet rifle when I was a kid. I never thought of pressing felony charges. I wonder what the statutes of limitations are. His friends were laughing, so maybe I can get them too. Yes it left a mark.

I am sure that you can charge anyone with whatever crime you wish...
However it may be more trouble and expensive than it is worth in regards to making the charges stick or get anything out of doing so.

Also asking for legal advice from a internet firearm forum...is chancey at best.
I would suggest that if you feel strongly about this situation ....you contact a lawyer.

What specifically did they do to involve themselves in a potential crime other than be present? You stated he shot your dog before it left your property. This implies to me that it was headed off your property. In that case, are the other three people going to say that your dog was attacking them and that is why the other person shot it? That could be trouble for you if there is no video of this incident to support your claim. There are too few details, and as stated previously, random dudes on the internet are the best source of legal advice.

Cuddly labs are hunting dogs...and one of the common biting breeds according to some lists. I have a friend who shot one in self-defense. I'll share this piece of non-legal advice, tread carefully and avoid escalation. Hope your puppy is okay.

Being raised in Portland, I didn't know what happens when city folk move out to the country and let their dogs roam free.
My first experience was when I was living near Estacada, OR. and early one morning while driving to work, a flatbed truck in front of me slammed on it's brakes and an old farmer jumped out of the cab with a 30/30 lever action rifle.
He jumped the roadside ditch and proceeded to take aim on a German Sheppard trotting down from a pasture above the road. I watched as he shot the dog dead from 100' away.
The farmer calmly put the rifle back in his truck and asked me if I would help him drag the dead dog out of the pasture and hang him up by his collar on the barb wire metal tee post.
I was a little bit stunned by the quickness of his actions, but told him I would, and when we got to the dog, there was a half chewed up new born calf leg in it's mouth.
He told me that the pasture was his neighbors cattle field and he had been asked to keep a lookout for any coyotes or any other critters killing his livestock.
The farmer made a cardboard sign stating that this dog was a livestock killer and hung it around his neck.
I found out later a couple from California had bought the farm on the other side of the road and let their dog roam free.

I'm conflicted on which side I support in this story.

I'll bet that Shepard wishes that 30-30 had been a BB gun.

For simple armed assault, probably seven years.

The dog ate a calf. Why is there any question? I would have done the same thing. Matter of fact, years ago, I did. Neighbors dog was running the calves on a ranch I worked on so the neighbor learned why you need to keep track of your dogs. It was not easy to do, I love dogs, but it needed done.
