Question Regarding deadly force against an animal
Hi all.
Firstly let me say thanks for the great forums and web content.
I have a question about using my firearm against an animal.
Hypothetically: I am in my front yard with my wife and kids and dog which is on a rope AND I am carrying my sidearm (I have a concealed carry permit). A pit bull, off the leash, no owner around, runs on to my property and attacks my dog, my kids try to separate the dogs, I am at this point fearing for the safety of my kids, wife, my self, and my dog (a family member).
Am I within my rights to shoot the attacking dog (let me say that I love dogs and would take no pleasure in doing such a thing)?
Thanks for taking the time to read and respond (and I do understand that your answers are opinions and do no constitute legal advice )
Thanks again,
Albert
