Porch hell, I'll shoot out of the window..

My dogs will eat a coon but they aren't Pits either..

rssvss: Porch hell, I'll shoot out of the window..

Seriously, I once shot my sawed off shotgun (legally registered with BATF) out my bedroom window with bird bomb rounds (before they were banned). LOL And, yes I've also shot my AK-47 off the front porch when I lived a little further up north.

Here's a picture

Well there's your problem. Sounds like you're in city limits. Most municipalities aren't too keen on people discharging firearms except in certain cases / areas.

Learn your local gun laws, people, or don't have guns.

One would think that protecting your pets from potentially rabid animals would fall under that. Though a 22 or shotgun w/birdshot. would be a better weapon to use.

If i think it has rabies (which is rare here) i would make sure not to just wound it. Would be worried some animal or person would come across it later..


He had a $5,000 bond, it was more than shooting a rifle in the city limits, I'm guessing?
And if it was a "true" auto AK-47 he would have to go before a federal judge for a bond hearing. And that would be (guessing again) around $25,000.

Good point, should use the shotgun unless you are sure you can land several hits with the 22.

That too, but it does depend on how anal the cop was and if the guy could back up his story. If he had a dead coon to show cops I think he would have a better chance.

Of course he could just be an idiot who needs some common scene slapped into him too. Either one is possible.

When I worked FT at Wal-mart we sold lots of .410 shotguns for use against skunks and raccoons.

It's possible. Pit bulls are nasty dogs, but a couple of boar raccoons can kill just about anything if they want to. If the pit bull was chained, I'm guessing the raccoon could have messed it up pretty bad.

Yeah, I've seen what a couple of mean angry raccoons can do to a chained dog. It's not very pretty.

We could shoot deer from Dad's bedroom window, but there's no sport in it. Dad usually makes it to the front porch.

I give up

If by pit bull he means mistress, and raccoon he means wife, and AK-47 he means AK-47.........i believe it

Them thar coons was molestin' my pit bull.

/Now git off my land!

they aren't hunting dogs moron. They also aren't agressive unless trained to be so. Even when trained, it's to be dog agressive, not raccon agressive. fark you and fark your mom too.

Approves.

Even when trained, it's to be dog agressive, not raccon agressive.

Are you saying you can't train a pitbull to go after raccoons?

Hell, my CATS get aggressive when they see raccoons.

I walked into my kitchen one night and was met by a large raccoon. Yelling didn't phase it, stomping made it hiss at me. Three or four shots from my Tippman 98 did the trick. It squealed and ran out real quick. Saw it outside on the deck a couple of times after that, but it never came back in the house.

so todd palin was protecting sarah from racoons?

why isnt this in the politics tab

Don't automatically assume because of the breed every member of that breed is somehow a fighting/killing machine. The lady up at the head of the road owns a big Rotweiler. 90 lbs or so of pure muscle. And every time I've walked past her when she's been loose, the only thing that's happened to me is getting jumped and slobbered on. I mean, you could eventually die from choking on the drool, I suppose.

Your anecdotal story of a lovable behemoth does not console the thousands of children maimed and disfigured by asshole dogs owned by asshole owners.

I'm sure there's plenty of well-trained, safe pits out there, but for every one of those, there's probably 100 ticking time bombs.

Your village called, there missing their idiot.

It is all in how they are raised. Just like kids. My labs won't tolerate a wild animal in the yard. But even a strange kid can do something mean to them and they will just run from the kid. Strangers to them are just another human that may pet them or feed them.

Neighbor has had pits for years. silly dogs wouldn't hurt a flea. In fact they sit at the side of the road every afternoon waiting on the local track team to stop and pet them.

Make laws that punish the owners that turn any dog mean severe.

Your anecdotal story of a lovable behemoth does not console the thousands hundreds of children maimed and disfigured by asshole dogs owned by asshole owners.

I know a lot of people who own pit bulls, rottweilers, german shepherds, and other large potentially dangerous dogs.

I've only ever known 2 people to require serious medical attention as a result of a dog bite. The dogs responsible were a cocker spaniel and a standard poodle.

its the owner that makes the dog an asshole, they don't get that way on their own.

Pits are some of the best dogs around: worthless guard dogs (as are most Rotts) but AWESOME personalities. The problem is abusive/worse owners. Get educated.

// had to run off flock off turkeys that were harassing the 10 month old puppy just yesterday

Obviously, they're talking about the very common and easy to buy $300-$1000 semi automatic AK-47's.

Secondly, the 7.62x39 round is NOT that overpowered for a raccoon. 22 is really too small for a guaranteed humane kill.

That being said, he was an idiot, and was arrested for shooting around other houses. He probably could just have easily scared them off by walking outside.

The media does a great job at making stories like this sound like a guy is killing a cockroach with a howitzer, though.

I don't think the coon he was shooting at was the 4 legged kind.

Just sayin'.

When officers asked about the reports of screaming, the suspect said he was on the telephone with his mother-in-law.

HooHAA!!!

That's rich!

oh boy! a gun and a pitbull thread, and i think crosshair would defend shooting the breeze

more animals

sorhed: I'm sure there's plenty of well-trained, safe pits out there, but for every one of those, there's probably 100 ticking time bombs.

I think your proportions are wrong. But, even if it's backwards (for every "time bomb" there are 100 safe animals) that's too high a risk for me.

Just an FYI:

By the time you notice the symptoms, rabies has a 100% fatality rate. In North America, raccoons and skunks are the leading carriers of rabies.

Better someone use an AK-47 to kill a raccoon in the middle of the city than to let what is very likely a rabid animal wander into someone's house or infect their dog/cat.

When the coons got up on the porch Momma would just chase 'em off with a broom...

/loves dogsI'm not racist I have plenty of black friends but supports the breed raceban in Ontario. Get a better dogslave.


I honestly see no difference between a ban on a breed of dog and a ban on a color and culture of people. Combine this type of thinking with the fact that the stereotype of pitbull owners is thug, and you have yourself a racist law. Pitbulls don't need to be banned anymore than labradors need to be banned. Punish the individual dogs that are bad, as well as their owners. You would not punish all black people for the misdeeds of a few, but your logic that because pitbulls have a higher crime rate they should all be punished is the same logic that would say that all black people should be punished for the deeds of other members of their race.

/Pitbull bans are racist.

JimmyCarter'sSecondTerm:

0/10

Sometimes you just need to shoot the ak47 from the porch. Around here it is to take care of coyotes more than raccoons. That is why you live just outside the city limits. You can get most the benefits for a little cash, but none of the tax or restrictions.

Okay I choose something a little more accurate than an ak47 when shooting off the porch. I am still better than some of my friends who shoot out of the bathroom window. My wife has put limits on me and it does get awfully loud shooting inside.

Silly troll, everybody knows black people are afraid of dogs.

By the time you notice the symptoms, rabies has a 100% 99.999997% fatality rate. In North America, raccoons and skunks are the leading carriers of rabies.

This chick lived. Of course, she's got brain damage, but in Fon Du Lac that doesn't really stand out. Hurrr.

Awesome personalities until the snap. Every story that you hear of some kid being attacked the dog started out as a loving pet then just snapped.

We had a 18 month old in our town get 60% of her scalp ripped off because Fido the loving pit bull didn't like her mom pulling the kids in a wagon by his house.

Then on the news, the dumb a$$ dog owner said the usual stuff like. "He would never do something like this".

Guess what, he just did.

JimmyCarter'sSecondTerm isnt trolling. He makes a valid point, and I agree with him. For a good example of a good troll try samsaran.

NRA's poster boy of the day.

Skunks and coons aren't half as rabid as most gun psychos.

Shoot first, think later. Classic.

And the pit bull just completes this case study of penile compensation syndrome.

Breed bans are a problem. It's not like it's just going to be one breed that is 'banned'. Some dogs are wonderful breeds and yet, they can get caught in 'bans' (for instance, I've been to many dog shows and have met wonderful Rottweilers/German Shephards, & Boxers. Yet, these are breeds that are often banned).

Who decides what breeds should be banned and which ones are o.k.?

Better to have huge fines and/or jail terms for people who do not obedience train their dogs and/or make them mean.

Don't own a dog if you're not going to train it and socialize it. It will still protect your family and property even if it's trained and socialized.
