What's yall's "the dogs are barking gun" ?

[Hog huntin Harry]

What gun do ya'll reach for when the dogs are barking ? I myself grab the Marlin 336, although a AR pattern rifle chambered in 6.5 Grendel with a 18 inch barrel, tac light, and red dot would be nice.

I live in the country with basically no neighbors. When the dog uses it's special bark, I step out with an AR with an Aimpoint Pro and a LTR1. Happens 4-5 time's a year and are usually feral burros who go in peace.

My neighbors little dog barks at me when I go outside, I don't think I should shoot it, although sometimes I want too. But I wouldn't need anything other then a 22lr to take care of it.

 

[Barry the Bear]

None at the time. Most dogs are not the guards we picture them to be and a bark is not something that I use to determine if a gun is warranted. If that need presents itself a good old fashioned 12 GA goes with my my hands like pb&j

Usually the dogs are barking at a rat in the backyard so I grab an axe handle and a pair of leather gloves.

 

[ColtPythonElite]

I dont grab a gun everytime my dog barks.

 

[Obturation]

I've got a German shepherd , he never stops barking.

When Coco(euro Dobe) perks up middle of the night,either tell her to knock it off or let her out. Her "friends" are deer and they come looking for fun...... they try to get a rise.



Avatar commander is my buddy gun

I don't worry about it until all 3 stop barking, which means they are all dead. Pity the fool that wants to tangle with them. But just in case a 1911 and 9mm carbine are an arms lenth away.

My pooches bark regularly...I generally don't grab a gun.....they usually bark at critters or someone visiting next door.
They do have a different and distinct bark that causes me to investigate..then I grab whatever is nearest.

Most of my neighbors have dogs a few several of them. When they all were barking and their owners yelling for them to shut-up a coyote was rushing down the alley. The little yapper across the street barks at anything or just to hear his voice?

9 out of 10 times it's the ups guy or fed ex.

 

[whughett]

None I just come up stairs from the basement work shop and check for Amazon packages.

The dogs bark at everything, but when the geese AND dogs are making noise then I might investigate with the Mossberg 500 ATP. More concerned about 4 legged predators out here.

I get what you're asking.
When the chicken house, or garden, or sweet corn patch is getting looted, I respond with the only long gun that isn't under lock and key. It hangs on a hook near the back door. Ruger's SR556
P223 Nikon 3x bdc @100yds
Streamlight taclight
Offset iron sights @15ft
Homemade no-rattle sling
30rd mags

As much as I’d like to shoot it sometimes, I just wind up yelling at it to be quiet.

I have other systems in place that don’t “go off” with birds, rabbits and squirrels but alert me when larger things come within 100 yards or so of the house.

If I grabbed a gun every time a dog barked, I would have to seriously review my behavior; grabbing a firearm is not my 1st (or 5th, or 19th or etc) response to a barking dog. In turn, there is nothing (I tell you nothing) more pleasant than a neighbor with a barking dog - a lot of dog owners where I live have to be deaf.

 

[Plan2Live]

The first thing I do is check the cameras.

 

[MacAR]

My moron barks at the wind. But if both the dog and the chickens are going off, then I grab the M24 Winchester 16 gauge that hangs up in the kitchen, or my Single Six.

These two yahoos bark because they want to bark.



Right now I'm kicking it old school for home defense.

I can pretty much figure out what's outside when my doggies start up in the middle of the night (I'm fluent in German Shepherd Dog). They will look out the back windows or back patio door and let me know what's moseying through their yard (it's a big, big yard with nothing but woods behind it). Don't have too many rabbits in the area anymore, my dogs catch 'em and eat 'em. They'll bark a bit if a raccoon passes through the property near the house, get frantic if the critter comes up to a door, they'll got absolutely frantic if it's a deer (because they want to chase it, catch it and eat it), but if there's a bear out there, they'll go totally ballistic. Within the past few months, a women living down the road from us had a cougar take one of the goat she kept in her backyard one morning... couple years back a cougar killed a horse in our area. There's also an M-4 with a Surefire Scout light and an EOTech handy.

Mister Peanut, The Dog of Adventure, has different barks for different offenders.
A single low "wuff" and a quick search of the house means that there's a possum, cat or rat on the roof or close around.
Loud barking with a wagging tail means that the postman is here (they're friends).
Loud barking with no wags means either a real bad guy or the UPS truck is here.
(A UPS man tried to kick him once... .)
I just check the cameras and grab the Mossberg 500 if needed.

 

[JR24]

My Collie is always barking at something or another. If it's the "someone is in my yard" bark it's likely my neighbor, USPS, FedEx or UPS.

Don't grab anything other than the CCW that's already on my hip.
