my girlfriend, her kids and I went to the park earlier today.. I brought the 3913, like always..we sat down and were eating lunch when a dog came out of the woods to our side.. it was stumbling and acting wierd, coming towards us.. it got about 60 feet away and I got up and threw a rock at it to scare it off... keeps on coming.. I then got up and got between the kids and the dog.. still closing, 40 feet now.. I then drew my weapon, dog got to about 25 feet when I fired.. 3 rounds, 2 hits..called the cops, calmed the kids down and dealt with all that crap..I checked on it after it dropped and I'm 99% the dog was rabid.. thank god for a CCW.could have been much worse..

Poor doggy.

Poor doggy.

It just wanted some of his sammich :flipoff2:

Murderer!:D

Oh and you missed a dog sized target at 25 feet that wasn't shooting back? :p

66% shots hit target. unacceptable.

Weak.

A real man would have killed the dog with the spoon sticking out of the potato salad. Firearms are for pussies. :shaking:

[typical screwzer response] there's never been a situation i couldn't talk my way out of. there is no need for a gun for self defense.

Was this in Mohegan park? Did our lovely Norwich PD let you keep your piece? Or are they gonna charge you with some BS about discharging your weapon within city limits?

Too bad he'll never come to this forum to see that....

lake cockaponsett(SP???) state park.. state police showed up, I called them to report it.. they looked around, had someone take the dog somewhere.. they took my name and statement, but I still have my piece.. the trooper said it looked like a textbook clean shoot...

the trooper said it looked like a textbook clean shoot...Textbook my ass, this is the PBB. Any one of us would have put 10/10 rounds exactly inbetween that dog's eyes while doing a Diehard barrel roll with a tactical reload and the 11th round hitting the dog in the corner of its left eyebrow which would be a thrown shot since we didnt get our barrel bushing link fitted last weekend and were using the stock one which made the gun only group .25 MOA instead of the .15 MOA we planned on.

Also, you said nothing about putting the flashlight on the dog which is bullshit because you should have had 2 primary flashlights hanging off of that weapon with one backup light on top and you never mentioned turning the lights on in your original post.

Whadya think this is, barfcom? This is the PBB, he didn't have his light on the gun because he hadn't finnished hand shaping the rail to weld on. Accuracy was a bit off since the front sight was tack welded in place and made from the corner of a street sign. Barrel roll? Hell, I'd spill ma beer ifin I tried that happy crap.

10 out of 10 rounds between the eyes? You HAVE seen the results of the cyber matches round these parts right?:flipoff2: MOA? Isn't that the name of the campground Roxy works at?

:laughing::flipoff2:

:laughing::flipoff2:Your opinion is meaningless, i can outshoot you- i have a miller lite can with 5 holes in it 200yds .3407" group 200 grain SWC's and i was drunk shooting offhand while getting kicked in the back of the head by a homeless methlab operator. I also built my own sear/hammer out of a railroad spike with a file and sandpaper and i welded in all the lettering on my slide, ground it down smooth so i could dip the entire thing in Herculiner. Took a bunch of .308 shells, cut them down, ran a reamer down my .45 chamber punching it out a half inch and made my very own .45ACPEEEEEEE wildcat that mimics 454casull in a 1911 so fawk yall!

:flipoff2:

I have put down a few dogs around here...last two were pits that some drug dealer allowed to get loose...they came at me growling(near my front porch) and two rds from the P22 put them in the trash dumper.









ummm 45acpeeeeeeeeeeee...I think that electric fence did more damage than you realize.:flipoff2:

I shot a rabid raccoon once off the back porch at dad's house.. I had just gotten home from school and the only gun not in the safe was a .22 so it took as many shots as the OP :flipoff2:



<edit> they all went on target though :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

$10 says the rabies test comes back negative and you shot a dog looking to score some crumbs.

That made me :laughing::laughing::laughing:

[typical screwzer response] there's never been a situation i couldn't talk my way out of. there is no need for a gun for self defense.

this reminds me of a confrontation I had a few years back.. not sure I ever related it to PBB though.

I've had health issues for years that vary and change. Anyway, I wake up at about 2300 to go take some medicine that is by the kitchen sink. Kitchen sink looks E, street is on N side of home. E of the kitchen window, we have about 3/4 acre of a lot and can see the street, although it's wooded.

Well out the window I see a truck parked on the edge of my lot. Not sure what it's there for and knowing there is no reason, I grab my handgun and light and take my GSD out the front door. I'm in underwear, no shoes and ease out about 40ft to the edge of the driveway. To my right is my shop and a carport with landscaping in between. I'm standing there, dog is milling around to my left and I see some fucker walking out of my shop door. He's shirtless, and has a handful of Dewalt Drill, Dewalt Impact, dewalt drill bits in case, a box of sirloin hamburgers and a bag of boneless chicken breasts (both were frozen and were from the one of the outside deep freezes.

I step to the side and get angle on him where I have a large pine tree between me and him and my backstop is either the Denali or open area of the lot as I'm about 4ft above him and everything slopes to that E side. I pop on the ultrastinger while giving a quick command to the GSD.

Before she reaches him I yell at him to drop everything and stop. Dog reaches him and he's spinning around (all while trying to move towards his truck which is a good 60yds away on the street. The light is constantly locked on his face and I yell to drop everything or the dog will make him. He sort of stops the spinning, the dog is on his back and I get a good look and he doesn't appear to have a weapon and certainly has his hand full and wasn't liking the dog on his back and light in his face.

Well he makes it out from under the carport still hanging on to everything and the dog is back on his side. Dude starts dropping things like if drops a drill like it's a crumb the dog will quit gnawing on his ass. He spins some more trying to deflect the dog, drops the drill bits and then spins and drops the chicken breasts and finally the box of sirloin burgers. He sort of jogs (and is about 30ft from the back of his truck) I move parallel with him finding cover across the driveway and behind another big pine tree on the side of the road keeping the light on him the entire time.

The dog had paused for some reason but was starting back at him by the time he made it to the rear of the truck, I stopped the dog but dude is opening the door of his little Toyota pickup and as he is getting in yells that I better call that dog off because he had a gun in the truck. I have no idea why but I yelled back "you better get that damn gun and try to use it."

He hops in, I get all but the last number on the license and call the cops.

2 cops show up and tell me there has been a rash of like robberies and no one had an description. Gave them the vehicle info and partial plate. The commander was the one telling me about the rash of robberies and told me I should have cracked a couple rounds off into the dirt to scary the shit out of the guy because he probably never realized a gun was trained on him and had he made a wrong move I would have likely fired.

that LEO leaves and the one take the statement asks me if I'm going to pick my stuff up out of the yard... like WTF are you doing leaving it laying there. I told her that I didn't want to touch anything in case (laughing) they would want to fingerprints. They caught the guy a month or two later.

I felt in complete control during the entire encounter because the dog kept him way preoccupied, drew blood, scratched his back up and I could make good assessments on his threat and whether he had any kind of weapon.

Raccoons are some evil sumbitches. I hear they'll trash your steering linkage...

a few weeks ago, down at the farm, I had a can of green paint laying up by where we park the farm truck on a slab.

A freaking coon, comes in, somehow get the cover off the tin of paint, must have stuck one paw in and proceeds to walk down the slap out into the grass. leaving a curious single set of green coon tracks. Just one foot.

this thread went sideways:D

...front sight tack welded in place and made from the corner of a street sign.
:lmao:






Officer: "What the hell kind of paint job is that?"

PBB guy: "Why, those are Doc14Skullz™ officer... Oh, and this skinny Glock-loving weirdo happened upon the scene and filmed the entire incident from three separate angles. In HD."

:flipoff2:

this thread = :laughing:




only on the PBB could a thread about having to draw and fire your carry weapon turn into a comedy. :D

$10 says he and his kids went home that night without a scratch, and he doesn't really give a fuck what the dog did or didn't have.

exactly

Local constabulary smoked a deer acting weird in one of our city parks a while back.

Turns out it had been bonked by a car, was dazed...........until it caught lead.

So, WTF did yah shoot the dog? Because it came too close to you and your family? You couldn't handle a stray dog without a gun? Pussy. Me thinks your panties got wet at the idea of getting to use a gun you carry all/most of the time, and you jumped at the chance.

Me thinks you are a keyboard commando and fool. If you weren't there then shut your fawking mouth. The man made a decision in the best interest of his family. The state trooper said it looked like a good shoot and thats pretty good considering CT is a fairly anti-gun state. And maybe you missed the part when he said it was rabid. You know what a rabid animal looks and acts right, its not hard to tell and Ive shot animals in my back yard for the same reason and it had nothing to do with itching to use a firearm. What was he supposed to do? Let it bite somebody and wait a week to see if they start foaming at the mouth then be like "Yep, I should have greased that sumbitch", ya no common sense asshat. :shaking:

a dog that is acting like it was stoned out of its mind, coming towards the people I love.. I have been thru rabies treatments, I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.. this animal was showing all the classic signs of rabies, except for the foam, which doesn't always occur..when it comes to the safety of my loved ones,I will do what it takes to make sure they never have to live thru that.. you were not there, so shut the fawk up..

Good call, good shoot.

hmmm...not sure I would have fired. With kids around, (having two kids myself) I see the perspective/wisdom in killing it, though. Dog wounds on a kid are catastrophic.

I have scared off attacking dogs with simple commands and a no b.s. attitude, though...and you never mentioned this one as "attacking" or "charging"?

not judgin' just sayin', good on ya for making a tough decision.

Unfortunately this did not appear as an attacking dog.
A rabid animal is completely unpredictable, best to shoot it than take chances.
Lately I've been having coon problems, bastards are living in the sewers. If I see one that's acting strangely I will shoot it, and let my neighbors call the police about me discharging a firearm.
Rabid animals are not to be fucked with, I've seen the needles they use for treating rabies, and those fuckers aren't sticking me with that.

:golfclap:

You fucked up man:shaking:



Next time call the local Korean place, not the cops.:D

All I know about this subject matter is that if a rabbid raccoon is in your basement egress, shooting it between the eyes with a .22 pistol just makes it mad.

After getting it dead with a base of the skull shot, posthole diggers can be used to get it out of said egress and into the cops plastic bag for testing. it came back positive, and they came out a sterilized my egress:eek:

This was inside the city limits, and the cop asked me to use my gun, as it was a lot less paperwork than if he used his:laughing:

I tried to scare if off, yelling and a few good sized rocks didn't do anything.. honestly, i don't think the kids remember it at all, and thats fine by me..

yeah, sorry my post was a bit contradictory. I applaud the decision, I was more thinking out loud...

I carry my bersa on my hip while my kids are in the yard for exactly this reason. We live on an acre in the outskirts of san diego, and get all sorts of fun and not so fun critters running around...lol.

:beer:

.22 between the yes just makes it mad?

I've killed dozens (of raccoons) with just a CB cap, between the eyes (from a rifle).

Chucking yesterday, had a momma 'coon and babies come within 10 ft of me.

.22 between the yes just makes it mad?

Hell's yea, racoon heads are stronger than all git out. It's been documented right here on this very site, racoon once took out a tierod on a bronco when the driver inadvertantly ran one over. Screwed up his steering something fierce. If I remember correctly, the racoon got up, flipped him the bird and ran away afterwards laughing.:flipoff2:

Is that English?

No, it's dyslexinese

Rabid dog and my family? I would have set it on fire and then dropped it off on your doorstep and rang the bell.

I would have jumped on it's back, held it down, bit it's ear and turned it from rabid to conservative (that, or a vampire depending on the time of day)

Is that English?

I believe its "yokel" dialect. Common in the south east and some midwestern cultures of U.S.A.

:beer:

If you are ever bit by a dog that you think is rabid do not shoot it in the head. They have to be able to analyze the brain tissue to see if the animal has rabies. Guy who lived in my home town learned that after a Rottweiler bit his wife in the face and she had to take rabies treatments after he left a smoking hole in its head for safeties sake.

LOL funny story....I'll try keep it brief.

My ex boss asked us to take out some ACs for him. While doing so we came across a bat clinging to a screen in the upper right corner of the window. We get it out and tell him about the bat, he can't resist himself and comes back in with a bitten finger. The conversation went as follows.

Boss: Uh Uh Uh (he has a stutter) I I got bit by the bat when I tried to close the window. (Bite was on the left hand, bat was on right side of window, he tried to grab the bat).
Me: You tried to grab the bat didn't you.
Boss: Uh uh no nope......
Me: Better go get checked out, bring the bat. It could have rabies.
Boss: (starts laughing with my field partner about me being a hypochondriac)
Me: (Dead serious) You think I'm kidding, ok do what you want (I go back to my work)
Boss: Uh uh Mike, go google bat bites and rabies (Laughing and not being serious)
Mike: (reads off the symptoms of rabies, how bats are the most common carriers and by the time symptoms show up its too late for the victim and they usually die a horrible death chained to a bed)
Boss: (Turns ghost white) Uh, maybe I should go to the clinic.
Me: (Being a smart ass now and little cocky) Gee, Ya think?

So he gets the bat and decides to go to the clinic with one of the engineers, the Engineer in all his wisdom decides he doesn't want a "LIVE" bat thats in a container closed up in a plastic bag in his vehicle so he takes the bat, dumps him on the ground and fucking ghetto stomps a few times. :shaking:

Me: Well now you are definetly gonna have to get stuck with those needles
Boss: Huh? What? Why?
Me: Well if the bat was whole they could have just examined its brain and seen if it had rabies or not, now they can't tell which is his brain and which is his asshole. So they are gonna give you the needles regardless just to be safe (I'm laughing my ass off at the sheer stupidity of two guys who are supposed to be quite intelligent (Ones the principal PE the other the Principal LS)

:laughing:

LOOK OUT!!!!!!! there is a dog 40 feet away lookin at my sammich, better shoot it.

























































just messin with ya, tough call to make. all the kids are safe as are you guys= right choice. there are way too many animals anywho.
