Now it seems I can't turn on the TV or read the paper where someone is getting attacked by dogs somewhere today. I have noticed there are several "Breeders " in my neighborhood that do not have their dogs chained or restrained.....if I have a concealed permit and right to carry , what is the results if I dust one of these bastards that always tries to come after me ??I mean wouldn't that be Self Defense ? My boy ( 10 ) has to walk past these dogs with his friends to get to a skate park that is less than 100 yards from my house , and there is no fence around the park , so the dogs could go after the kids if something sets them off ......anyone got any insides on the legalities :idea:

I would call Animal Control on these folks. They will hassle these folks into chaining up their dogs and keeping the kids in the neighborhood safe.

good idea to talk to them or call authorities now if you are worried.
I do not know TX law, but if you are defending someone's life you should be okay.
Also, dogs are generally considered "property" so you exposure it limited to replacement cost -- no punitive damages or pain and suffering. just like if you shot your nieghbors car.
California also has an old law, still on the books, that a property owner can kill any loose dog on his own property if he keeps livestock on the property. I would bet TX has something like that too.
So, maybe, you should buy a sheep and make your son take it with him to the skatepark. If the authorites don't buy that you were defending your son, maybe they will agree you were defending you sheep. Or maybe one of those fainting goats -- it faints, dogs get it -- son runs away - neighborhood gets BBQ goat.

I'd be concerned where that bullet went after it passed through the dog.

Just trying to get the feedback from others out there , one dog has actually come across the street and tried to nip at my ankle , he got a good whackin' with a skateboard on the nogginbut he's still just pretty much a pup , just kinda worried about when they get older . they will snap at just about anyone walking down the street or on bikes , for now I got my boy one of those mace sprays that the mailmen use

I understand that, but when a pit bull has ahold of your left nut, try to practice it.

So you have defintitely ruled out the sheep idea?
