Unlawful discahrge in city limits

[boatme99]

I guess some of you must be higher evolved or better enlightened than I am.....I remain, The Dog Murderer

Nah. You simply eliminated a problem that most likely had been going on a long time, that everybody else was afraid to deal with.
I've had to deal with that when living in the country.

I love animals, but a dog that bites indiscriminately is useless and a pest.
To folks that accuse you of going back to "murder" a dog, I ask,do you hunt? Have you scoped out an area for deer then gone back and set up your stand to take your kill? Where's the difference, other than the deer probably didn't bite you?
Where's the line between doggie murder and deer sport?
Personally, I think the Australians have it right. Dogs and cats that aren't pets are game.
Ok, let me have it.

I dont see where the dog was bitting indiscriminately. Guy stepped on its property. The difference is that he went back. That to me shows anger issues. Had he shot the dog as it happened it's self defense, but he didn't. Same type of people that get into arguments, leave and come back with a gun and start shooting. He got bit by a little dog.....the horror. Go home call the cops, let them deal with it. The dog is just protecting it's property. The owner should have had a fence But to go back and kill it wrong. To me, my dog is family, shoot it for payback and I see it as shooting my sister or parents

there was no dog murder the man said the dog was coming at him for another attack he was just defending himself. if u cant keep your agressive dog on a leash or in a fenced area thats the owners fault. he was just simply walking on public land he has the right to protect himself the owner of the dog is lucky he didnt get sued

No he went back for it, with a gun. He didn't go to the store and got attacked again, he went with the intention to kill it.

I just don't get the "go home and get the gun and come back to shoot the dog thing".

Other Options:
1. Go home, dress the wound and have a beer.
2. Go home, dress the wound, and then call Animal Control and let them know an unleashed dog bit you, and where to find it.

There is nothing in the definition of "self-defense" that includes "go home, get the gun and come back".

I used to live in high Crime Richmond, CA.

Guy I know...someone was stealing his truck, he went out and put a bullet in the tire. The guy ran off. He needed the truck for his livelihood.

The cops arrested the owner for "discharging a firearm". He got 8 months in County Jail and a $2000 fine. Got beat up, doing time.

They took the gun. He can no longer own firearms. Bad day at Black Rock.

BTW: Richmond CA. Gun fire nitely! July 4th/New Years, sounds like a war zone. People getting shot all over.

Criminals have: Full auto, big mags, ammo - the stupid laws are really solving the crime situation!!!! Just sayin.

Going back with a gun to provoke the dog to attack again shows what would be called premeditation in a homicide case, and bump the charge up to the first degree category.

I can see no possible excuse for not letting the animal control people and/or the police handle it. None.

Kinman, I'm sorry to hear that you were attacked by a little bitty dog. I'm surprised you weren't charged with more.

What would happen if you had gotten punched by a person who was slightly unbalanced. Would you have gone home, gotten a firearm, and gone back to provoke another attack so you could shoot them? I know, dogs ain't people, but the correct course of action to follow would have been to call the cops and report it, and then if you were feeling particularly vengeful contacted a lawyer.

Most of the responses here are from Gun friendly states.
Remember, The OP is in NJ.
In NJ, bb guns are illegal and treated as actual weapons violations, as in jail terms.
This isn't a question to be taken lightly.
I found a site the OP might want to look at.
I make no claims as to the veracity of his info, but it's a place to start:

Criminal Lawyer In NJ - DWI Defense & Trial Attorney

He has a list of gun violations and possible recourses.
Go to "Full site index" and scroll down to "Gun"

NJ may have some strict gun laws but self-defense there is still alive and well. You will find that those 'no discharge' laws do not apply to lawful self-defense.

Thanks guys for the free smiles. Some threads just seem to be 'too good to be true' as far as entertainment.

I just want to give credit where credit is due. Kinman left his post (#16) as is, without editing it after we all thought he was a bit out-of-kilter with the "go home, get the gun, and come back to shoot the dog" thing. I think that shows a certain modicum of class, and cojones.
