And, of course, it will found that the .357 is no doubt registeredto the late Mr. Jackson and he had a permit to carry.

I would hazard to guess that prior to the dog being unleashed Mr. Jackson was told to put his hands in view...maybe he was told that more than once...and maybe his not cooperating with the police request to put his hands up is what caused the dog to be unleased upon him.

I am not saying they did not, in fact my original post stated as much. However, and this is a very big however.. to assume that any human being will sit and TAKE a dog attack just because a cop says so is insanity.

To further assume that because that person defended themselves from that attack and kills the dog, that he is threatening others is a stretch.

This one doesn’t pass the smell tests folks. I am not saying the cops are inately in the wrong, the investigation will be go on. But on the surface so far there are enough questions to make a rational person wonder.

You still need probable cause to stop anyone. What is the probable cause? This article suspiciously omits that part ~

It Pit you don't need to register a handgun. In fact only in a few very socialist places in the country do you need to do that. I know that is not your point but I really have a strong kneejerk reaction to people thinking we need more gun regulations or assuming we already have them.
