Yeah, it'd be a LOT more civilized to just let careless people's dogs
and cats trash our yards.

"An armed society is a polite society." Frankly I think that if you
can't be trusted with guns, or are afraid of them, then you shouldn't
have one. IMHO it indicates a lower level of civilization, like say for
example if you had not discovered agriculture or the wheel.

Speaking of which, since cars kill & maim a heck of a lot more people
than guns, it would make more sense to outlaw cars.

Actually, the law about terminating animals is tested around here a few
times a year. It doesn't specify that the property has to be an
income-producing farm - just "food crops". My son's baseball coach was
our
town justice, who clued me in to the law. He explained that it was
almost
done away with in the early 1940s, but the advent of the victory garden
concept kept it on the books. He also explained that HOW one terminates
an
animal is obviously crucial. If it's done with a firearm within town
limits,
you may be judged without fault for killing the animal, but slammed with
a
(justified) weapons violation. Further, the "terminator" needs to
exhaust
every other possible solution, which usually means you have to prove
that
you tried to get help from the animal control dept and negotiate with
the
owner of the animal, usually a dog. A side benefit of the law is that it
gives towns a reason to replace dog catchers who are overly sympathetic
with
dog owners who are perpetually irresponsible.

It's the same here, Don. That's why I said that although you might not be
breaking the law by killing an animal, you most certainly WOULD be if you
used a gun in certain places. But, 15 minutes outside the city, there are
100-200 acre properties where you *can* discharge firearms, but not within a
certain distance of the road. Having said that, I have a friend who does it
all the time, but he set up his shooting area in such an obsessively save
way that when the sheriff stopped by, he just looked around and said
"OK....just keep it this way, and make sure you supervise the
inexperienced."

heh heh... makes sense... I taught my wife to shoot at our local police
range (which has since been closed to the public for reason none can
explain).

Certain people shouldn't be allowed to have guns... some because of
criminal tendencies, some for the same reason that certain people
shouldn't be allowed to use hammers or soldering irons...

Let's remember, too, that according to FBI stats, law-abiding people with
legally owned guns commit like....1 crime every 3 years. :-) Hunting
accidents are another story, but stupid people who do that were due for SOME
sort of horrible accident at some point, whether with a car, a table saw or
bathing with the toaster.

From what some gun shop guys have told me, when cops come in and unholster a
gun, you want to duck. Mucho bravado, but not as safety-conscious as
civilians. Maybe the presence of civilians embarrassed the cops at your
range. :-)

Of course it wasn't Arkansas...if it was Arkansas, you'd a been shooting at
a married couple.........

My wife donates to the SPCA with instructions on the check NOT to be
used for cats......wonder if they follow those instructions.

I'd think that would be the reverse of what you'd want to do. The more
money they get for cats, the more they can spay and neuter them. You
see, it isn't really the cats that are at fault, it's idiotic owners.

Here we go again. A couple years ago some low-lifes sent the 5 lb. furry
vermin to my clam boat to use it as a litter box. Never got a good aim
at
the cat.

Now, I have a trawler with Polish storm windows (AKA rigid pvc drop
curtains) around the stern area, and a neighbor's DAMN CAT still gets
inside
for the same purpose.

I need your advice. What type of anitfreeze is it that smells and
tastes
good to animals, but offs 'em in a few hours? Does De-Con work? Rat
traps?


I'd contact your local SPCA, borrow a live trap and turn the cat over to
them.
You may cruely kill an innocent cat that could be attracted by the
anti-freeze.



Agreed. A HavAHart trap will do the trick. Cats don't deserve the antifreeze
routine. That's for dogs.

Drink up Dogie err ahh Dougie....

Ah, one of the simple pleasures of living in the South. Reminds me of

go after a bunch of cats raiding his trash barrel.

I don't think he got any of them, but damn, was it funny watching
those cats come zooming out of that barrel as if shot by a catapult
and the neighbor blasting away at his trash barrel like "Dirty Harry."

I thought Krause didn't like guns?

Why? I been tole that them moose are pretty good eatin'

DSK


Very limited number of hunting licenses issued for moose in Nova Scotia.
Used to be around 1000 under a lottery system.
My theory still is...if they don't shoot at me...I don't shoot at them.

And if they do shoot at you you still don't shoot at them (cuz you and your
spineless lot let your government disarm you).

Personally, I don't shoot cats because I don't have problems with them,
but
if they destroyed my vegetable garden, I wouldn't hesitate to do so. If
you
read the fine print in your town code, you'll likely find old laws which
permit landowners to kill things that destroy food crops.



If you looked hard enough, you'd probably find an old law that allowed you
to pop someone who spit chawin' tobacca
on your floor. That defense probably wouldn't work today..........well
maybe in Texas & Florida.

Only if you have wood floors....and at night... however if they are
socialist foreigners especially Northern ones then it is all types of flooring
and 24/7.

Don you dim bulb it isn't any different here. I don't know of many American
cities that don't have laws against the discharging of firearms within the
city limits. I live in Sugar Land Texas and you can't shoot BB guns in your
yard either or shoot arrows.

And the NRA doesn't have anything to do with what you are talking about.

In a free country with freedom of speech protections, groups made up
of ordinary citizens from all walks of life like the NRA cannot be gotten
"rid of" by wannebe socialist (tyrant) planners.

Get a clue.
