farmerboy, maybe you haven't noticed, but sometimes having interpersonal skills can help deescalate situations. It's commonly thought that one should be able to do many things before having to draw a weapon. So, how is it funny that someone would try the same thing with a dog?

Let's switch places, a dog decides to use your lawn as it's personal Jade toilet. You get upset, and walk out with a gun. His owner sees this, and decides you're a threat. Unfortunately he thinks the whole "interpersonal skills" idea is laughable, so he just shoots you to defend his dog.
