I noticed the same thing (though your method of drawing attention is far better than mine).MotherBear wrote:Fixed it for them. Somehow they missed the irony.The last thing she expected was the other woman to get her gun back.
"We can't have that kind of lawlessness in our public parks," said the woman who illegally had her dog off-leash in a public park.
To be clear, I don't think it's open season on illegally unleashed dogs, but those laws exist for a reason and choosing to disobey them is asking for trouble. I don't mind off-leash dogs who are fully under their owners' control, but that's not what I'm seeing here -- and regardless of my personal opinion, it's still illegal. I've known dogs well enough trained to heel right at their owner's side without a leash being necessary. But most dogs I see, especially large ones, aren't even under control when on a leash. And obviously this one wasn't that well trained, if the owner was afraid to walk down the stairs while holding the leash.
Yes, but they both work with passing an electrical current through a part of the body. The e-collar uses a vibrate or slight charge that causes a tingle. The charge is adjustable and when turned up to max is about like grabbing a weed burner fence.Cedar Park Dad wrote:Aren't stun guns and Ecollars very different things though?
They are. I have no experience with stun guns on people or animals. However, I have a lot of experience with the other having trained many dogs for tracking, obedience, and protection. An electric shock collar is a training device that in order to get the desired effect/result must be used that way. To suddenly zap a dog with one when it is in or about to be in a dog fight, in most cases, will make the situation worse. The dog is likely to perceive the shock as an attack.Cedar Park Dad wrote:Aren't stun guns and Ecollars very different things though?
I actually knew this guy, went to intermediate and high school with him. He had a real weird nervous "tick" where he would open his mouth (like someone trying to pop their ears) a lot especially if he was called upon by the teacher or if someone put him on the spot. Not sure if he should even be a CHL holder but I guess he wont be anymorephilip964 wrote:http://www.click2houston.com/news/charg ... k/31698360
Dog Park shooter charged with cruelty to a non livestock animal.
"Animal abuse is a serious offense that will not be tolerated,” said Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson in a press release. “We take all allegations of cruelty to animals very seriously and pursue charges whenever appropriate."
IIRC, most dog parks are owned and maintained by the city. They won't have a choice in the matter when it comes to allowing CHLs or not.Schooley wrote:I actually knew this guy, went to intermediate and high school with him.

Seems like he had a predisposition to shoot a nuisance dog if it became an issue. From eyewitness accounts it sounds like he had his mind made up on killing the dog regardless if it was a threat or not.
Whats scary is his actions are now leading people to question if concealed handguns should be allowed at dog parks
