What a tragic story. The dog was turning his life around and was an aspiring rapper who had 2 kids from 3 different mothers.
She looks like she still doesn’t care.
Is this the story where the cops confiscated the gun from a legal owner with a CPL?
Just had to shoot a strange acting Possum just a few days ago, had to do the same to a raccoon last fall.
Yes.
But they gave it back to him the next day.
That is an improvement over waiting for months and having to fight for it in court.
The only time I have ever had to use my CHL was to shoot a pitbull that had my corgi in its mouth. Kicking had no effect. The dog was like a sack of concrete mix. I shot it twice before it dropped my dog and the pitbull still lived. I started researching other ways to stop a pitbull other than having to use my gun again in a residential neighborhood. Everything I read about -pepper spray, billy clubs, cattle prods, etc. were said to be ineffectual against them.
Knives work, but require that you get within contact distance.
"Been there, done that, dumbass. Now give me back my weapon."
Maybe one of those small bats they are handing out to teachers would have worked.
What? The police did not shoot the dog the first time they saw it?
;-)
“...and once it pulled away from the people and started walking across the road I shot it.”
Um, I always have a hard time understanding the “fleeing felon” rule. Why wasn’t this guy arrested? He was no longer “defending” himself or others.
Just kidding. Sort of. I always get hassled for pointing out that Washington State law would allow this (for a citizen to shoot a person leaving after committing a felony in order to stop them).
Powerful, psycho Yorkies...again!? Noooo, dogs bred to damage, bloodlines containing fighting killers. Because there aren’t any breeds to choose from that can’t maul and kill, right?

“English Bull Terrier”
Sorry.. Not gonna work on me. That trick may work for the insurance companies, but not for me. A pitbull is a pitbull. Dog of love an piece.

Here’s a method I never hope to try.....
Stick a finger up his butt-hole.
My barber told me this one time. Where he got that from; I do not know. The premise is - that will surprise the animal to the extent he will not continue the attack.
Unless of course you’re dealing with a fag pitbull. Then, son, you’re on your own.
“But police and animal control arrived just then, took control of the dog and confiscated Burek’s gun.”
The guy with the gun let others try their way first...(not really, just a possible scenario)...
1) Owner yells STOP! Dog bites someone.
2) People run. Dog bites someone.
3) A liberal tries to reason with it. Dog bites the liberal.
4) People throw rocks at dog. Dog catches rocks in the air with his teeth, and bites someone.
5) Someone pepper sprays dog. Dog snorts the pepper spray and bites someone.
6) Bystander kicks dog. Dog urinates on their leg and...bites the kicker.
7) Someone hits dog with hammer. Dog eats hammer and bites someone.
8) Finally, someone calls 911 while dog is biting someone else.
9) Gun owner goes to car, gets gun, shoots dog twice. Dog doesn’t bite anybody else.
10) Police arrive (from 911 call), are able to subdue the dead dog.
11) Police take gunowner hero’s gun.
