What to do about a burning dog?

njtrigger · November 25, 2007, 05:34 AM

I'm going to try my hand at a scenario. It has some hidden aspects.

One evening you are driving in the country. It is the dry time in TX. You have read of a sicko who is seating fire to dogs.

Thus, you see a man tying a cute doggie (image it yourself) to a tree. He is dousing the dog with gasoline and holding a lighter.

You stop and yell at him to stop. He replies to go mate with yourself and moves towards the dog with a lighter.

You have the TFL gear - gun, OC, phone, knife, extra mag, BUG, AR or shotgun in the vehicle.

What do you do and what is your legal justification? What is your moral justification?

You need to put the question in quotes or cite Glenn, considering you just cut and pasted his post that started that thread.

Lets not do this again.

For cryin out loud...word for word (even Glenn's spelling error - "seating"). New members, please do not respond so as not to promote this behavior.
