Special Treatment for Animal Abusers
From Armed Citizen (American Rifleman) . . .
Michael Hommes’ German shepherd was strangely upset in the middle of the night, running frantically to various windows in the home. Trusting his dog’s intuition, Hommes released it outside. The German shepherd likely saw the prowler in the yard. The next thing Hommes heard was his dog being shot. He ran back into the home and grabbed a pistol. By the time he returned to the front door, the prowler had already forced his way inside. Hommes shot at the armed intruder, causing him to flee the home. Hommes’ loyal dog was treated by a veterinarian for its injuries and will survive. An investigation is under way. (Star-Beacon, Ashtabula, OH, 02/16/10)

Yeah, I got my National Rifleman yesterday, and that’s the first thing I read.
I think the dogs owner needs a little more range time!

The dog owner could also have used a shotgun. We keep ours handy when we’re at home.

Yep, that’s about what Fred taught us….use your handgun to fight your way to your longgun, but you should always have your longgun at the ready!
The shotgun is on my side of the bed, and the wife has her 357 mag on her side!
I’ve also got my Sig P226 on my side, but I’m thinking of keeping one of my 1911’s there as I’m much more familiar with a 1911 than my Sig.

I generally carry my S&W 686 .357 and the Better Half packs a S&W 442 .38 caliber J-frame (loaded with plus-P). Our 12 gauge Remington 870 Magnum Express will generally be within reach.
We hope that we never have to resort to any of them.
