Westward Posted Thursday at 16:30 Report Share Posted Thursday at 16:30 (edited) Someone should point out to the police and the Downing Street Commissariat that more people are killed by dogs every year than by legally owned firearms in 20 years.

12gauge82 Posted Thursday at 18:36 Report Share Posted Thursday at 18:36 And just like firearms licensing the ban is ineffective. The Scrotes are already onto other dogs. Two of which the Pakistani Bully Kutta and the Turkish Kangal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve mentioned this before also. The general public have no interest in banning dogs because most of them like dogs. Conversely, most of them don’t like guns so they are happy to call for a firearm ban at whim. It doesn’t matter that you’re about 5 times more likely to be mauled to death by a dog than shot by a licensed firearms owner, it’s never been about the figures - if it’s something they don’t like then 1 death is too many, if it’s something they do like then 1000 would be acceptable. People should also be less ban-happy in general, but that’s diverting into a separate discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something 9mm presumably, If it takes that many rounds to stop a dog, how effective against the threat from a grown man? 3 hours ago, murray smith said: Wonder how many misses and where did the bullets go? Quote from the Daily Fail article... "our firearms officers had to discharge 19 shots into them – all of which hit their targets". Perhaps they should licence dogs the way they licence guns.

Dougy Posted Thursday at 21:00 Report Share Posted Thursday at 21:00 19 shots to stop a big dog does sound excessive. I wasn't there so cannot pass judgement. But ,,, What I do know is hit a human in the torso with a 9mm it will knock them off their feet. A dog in attack mode is another thing. I've seen, as a couple of members on PW have also seen, dogs with nearly 100% of their I intestine hanging out and STILL continuing to work. Their pain threshold is zero in this situation. Unfortunately I would be tempted to shoot the owners aswell. Good job I'm not a police man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robden Posted Friday at 05:16 Report Share Posted Friday at 05:16 Best advice I've heard is, try not to panic (very hard to do) if near any water, get in the water (most canals usually not very deep, if a river, wade out to waist height) and drown the animal. If it can't breath...it will let go. Or even a stick driven into it's eye to pierce the brain. Then maybe do the same to the owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12gauge82 Posted Friday at 05:55 Report Share Posted Friday at 05:55 To be honest it's really not something I'd worry about. The odds of being seriously attacked by a powerful dog is still relatively low. Your probably far more likely to be injured or killed on the road.

While any injury or death caused by a dog, or as is often the case, an idiotic owner, is one too many. The hysteria around dog attacks is similar to the bad press firearms ownership gets. For the amount of dogs owned in the UK there are not that many issues. Edited Friday at 07:10 by 12gauge82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
