Sorry but those of us here who know dogs and guns know better.
This was a safe middle class neighborhood where the man walked everyday and Quickdraw knew the exact address of the house where the dogs came from. It's not like he was out in the wilderness somewhere and this was a pack of hungry wild dogs.
Did Quickdraw have any injuries from the second dog??? No??? Why not??? What was the other dog doing while he was shooting his roommate -- reading him his rights???
Those who have dogs and watched dogs and who have been on this planet long enough as this guy has know exactly what these dogs did. They charged and stopped short and barked as some dogs do at strangers who look suspicious to them.
Unless he is Roy Rogers he couldn't have hit a moving target with one shot and if you lived in that neighborhood unless he was Roy Rogers you wouldn't want him taking that shot -- and risk missing and hitting something or someone else.
And if he wasn't still charging at him at the time, but a foot in front of him barking, then he had no cause to shoot him.
If you have spent 63 years on this planet and can't handle a situation like this without pulling a gun and discharging it then put your fanny pack away and stay home.
Thank you Uncle Chip. Ol’ Dan may be related to Chet, just picking on a different breed. In addition to my Boxer, I also have a pit bull. Yes, two dogs...a pack. I established the pecking order when they were young and we still go by it.
I know my dogs and they understand what is required of them. And let me say this, being around them is the most rewarding part of my day.
You're making a lot of conjecture based upon information that was not reported in the story.
The simple fact is that this man felt like he was danger and he was under no obligation to wait to see what the dogs charging at him from across the street would do once they reached where he was standing.
