I understand hunting and I understand the need for game management, BUT - theres a photo at the local sportsman shop of the manager with huge grin sitting on seven dead coyotes. I understand the need for game management , but I'd like hit him in the teeth with a ball bat - once for each life that he gleefully took. He could have atleast been solemn. So yeh I suppose if I ran into him in the woods and he shot my dog, and I had a gun, he would never see the sunset. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I'm not proud of saying that. Its why I don't carry. I know I never miss and if I draw - somethings gonna die and I've seen things die before and it made me sick.


Perhaps, before complete government control was instituted you could shoot a dog killer and get away with it. Your own self defense is no longer in your hands, Jim. You MUST allow the gov to handle these things for you. They might even fine the guy up to $ 50.00 (US) for shooting your beloved dog.
The point I am trying to make is that you have permission to carry a gun - that's it.
You do not have permission to use it - and if you do you know what might happen -jury or no. Eventually we should all get used to the idea that guns are only for target practice in approved locations, and thats it. Be glad they have given you that much freedom and don't push it.
PS your vote doesnt count either, unless you are a super delegate.
