Re: CHL use in self defense against a dog?

Not at all. I didn't take it for anything except the way it was intended.

It being hearsay probably makes it less than useful on the forum but it did lead to some good discussion in our class and I figured it would here as well.

Re: CHL use in self defense against a dog?

Re: The Leash Law question, I don't know. I wasn't told where it happened.

:headscratch

Re: The Protection of Property question, I agree. I think Paragraph 3 (a) and 3 (b) would cover it.

:iagree:

Re: The Lawyer having a field day with the discharge in the city limits charge, I agree. Like I said, this was hearsay (and now it's double hearsay) so I don't know what really happened.

:iagree:

The solid truth is I believe it's covered under the property protection section as mentioned above.

Re: CHL use in self defense against a dog?

This actually came up in our CHL course. Our instructor said he would shoot to stop the threat if he felt threatened. He also said that extended to protecting his own dog if his dog were attacked.

He said he had heard of this actually happening and based on hearsay, the individual was cited for discharging a firearm in the city limits but no other crimes. He didn't know (or hadn't heard) how it finally ended up (charge dropped, convicted, etc.).

FWIW...
