I attened an auction that I attend almost every week.
I get out of my car and start walking towards the auction building.
I get about 2/3 of the way there, and I hear a noise behind me. I see spmething coming fairly fast behind me.
I turn, and it is a pit bull.
I look him in the eyes and he stops about 10 feet from me. He starts growling very loudly.
I have my hand on my pistol. The owner runs up and grabs the dogs leash.
He never says "sorry", or anything.
I went on the the auction building, and a guy tells me that the same dog attacked a dog that belonged to a friend of his, and it had to be treated.
I really wasn't scared. Alot of things went through my mind, however.
The police station is only about 50 yards away. I started thinking, "wonder if I would have shot the dog if he attacked, what would have happened?" There is the legal aspect, the loud noise of a 45 going off, just alot of things going through my mind.
The sheriff of our county was at the auction and I told him about it. He said that if he attacked you, you have the right to shoot him. Of course there would be the investigation, probably the hand gun being seized, and whatever else may happen.
I have never came this close to shooting something in civalian life before.
I cannot believe that all of these things went through my mind. It sure is alot to think about. Really strange.
Anyone else have these same thoughts in a situation like this?
