You know, even if he were not able to legally own the firearm for some reason, the judge would need to take into account the fact that he risked being prosecuted in order to save somebody else’s kid.

Of course in D.C. nobody has a right to legally own a gun in the opinion of the ruling class.

There is no sence in being stupid if you can not show it. The D.C police are stupid and are showing it.

My sisters elderly neighbor open her front door and started to walk down her front walk to retrieve her morning newspaper! She didn’t make it! Her neighbors PitBulls were loose and attacked her they nearly killed her before they were beaten off her! A PitBulls jaws are extremely strong and once they latch on it is difficult to get them off someone! If they had gotten to my sisters 3year old we would of had a funeral!
These dogs are bred to be agressive and are unstable…this woman lived next door to these dogs and had never harmed them!
The jerk city atty that is harassing the person that shot this dog should have some turned loose in his yard!
Sick of STUPID!

So, does Washington D.C. have leash laws? Shouldn’t the owner of the dogs be fined and held responsible for the injured boy? The boy probably would of been maimed much worse, or possibly killed if that man hadn’t had a gun to shoot the dog. Good thing the officer shot the other two dogs.

The man who shot the dog deserves recognition and a medal. No reason to investigate him. Don’t make a criminal out of him for doing the right thing, unless he is already a felon in possession of a handgun he shouldn’t have. Either way, he deserves credit for helping the boy. Ridiculous Liberals in D.C.

“Shouldn’t they be all over the media demanding a ban on assault pit bulls?”

That’s actually a very good question Juan. Though there has been a major push-back in recent years against BSL (Breed Specific Legislation), there are many towns that have banned pit bulls.

Perhaps a better idea would be to enforce the leash laws. If an owner allows his dogs to run free and they harm someone, the owner must be held responsible.

In concept, banning dogs is very similar to banning guns. People need to be held personally accountable for their actions.

This is true for bankers and politicians as well.

Luva, that would be the smart thing to do.
That would be the compassionate thing.

I am in favor of sending the dog owner to God for a personal interview, but then, I don’t have a pathological degree in Pit Bull mentality; maybe orange rims on BMX bike are well known to cause P.B.’s to turn into hockey players.
There has to be a way the MMMFH (Major Mass Media From Hell) can blame this on Lance Armstrong!

Seriously, to add to your list of “should-do’s, we should watch the way the judge handles this case. If he rides hard on the shot-gun man, maybe he and the prosecutor should be placed in the interview room with pit bulls.

Who sits on a jury anymore? In my experience, everyone sent a summons gyrates to ungodly positions to avoid jury duty. The accused ends up being tried by a group of “people too stupid to avoid jury duty.”
The question then is, why do we try to avoid it? Because it takes too much time! I like the jury duty like we saw in old western movies! The facts are laid out, the case is tried in one day, maybe two, and the guy walks or hangs.

If the country or world were made a better place because of liberal courts and laws, it seems that by now it would be a better place.

Isn’t it ironic that someone doing the right thing, even if the law says no, is in trouble with the law, while millions of lawbreakers get a pass for doing whatever they want? I hope the citizens of his area make their views known to the court and the police. I think that most gun owners would have done the same thing, the boy’s life and safety at that point were the most important things.
