That man is STUPID and LAZY, and his poor tiny doggies paid the price. He never should have let them out in his yard alone and unarmed. He should have made a fully enclosed run for them and then he’d still have them around. Poor doggies.

Quail Creek is a gated community in a populated area. You can't be shooting off firearms. The lots are typical suburban sized, so you have neighbors all around you. And an HOA that would never allow you to build an enclosure in the back. It's not like living off-grid in the middle of Alaska where your nearest neighbor is 100 miles away.

There are some very nice and powerful air rifles these days. So far as I know, anyone can buy them. Unless a neighbor witnesses the shot no one would know any different.
