Video was a good reminder to have pepper spray on you or nearby.

Years back, I was forced to walk a snow covered deep country road the last couple miles home. Barking dog loose in the middle of the night had me spooked. I carried a lit road flare. Must have worked, as I didn't have to shoot anything. Much less get in a gun battle for killing someone's security critter.

I hear some LE agencies shoot dogs all the time with impunity.

I think that's part of the 3- letter agency training regime.

Yep, heard the same. To bad the guy didn’t have three at different points of attack at different distances. *, 3 letter out-fits

Some are more equal than others.

It depends on what you did, why, and where you live.

Meh. I don't click on youtube videos with zero commentary. I can also count on one hand how many youtube commentators have an opinion I give AF about in the gunternet community.

I was referencing when you shot a dog that attempted to kill you.

I remember some years back when a guy in Carmel was threatened by a dog, so he shot a warning shot into the ground to scare it.

He got in trouble for firing the warning shot, but wouldn't have if he had actually shot the dog in self defense.

So the moral of the story, boys and girls, is SSS!

Dog? What dog? I'll keep my eyes open in case he shows up.

After an encounter with a pit-bull that ate a lady's yap dog last year, I always carry a knife and sometimes also pepper spray. If a dog chomps on a kid's arm, I'm pithing that (redacted).

A dog is property. I have dogs and love them, but realistically they are property.

 

[Leadeye]

Looked into this some time ago, you can't shoot them even on your own property unless you can prove they are damaging something like livestock or attacking someone. That said, as pointed out by Cameramonkey, SSS is the best rule unless someone hears the gunshots, reports the dog missing, and then aggressively follows up with the local law.

Just to answer your question, with proper shot placement he falls over deader than a creek rock. Then get the shovel off the 4 wheeler .
