DOG????????
I was riding my motorcycle to work today.... a large black dog ran at my bike and tried to bite me
I hit the throttle and out ran the dog.... As soon as I got a safe distance I used my cell phone to
call the Animal control ............Would I have been justified if I had shot the dog????????????

Re: DOG????????
I used the same old trick I have been using for years slow down a little let the dog get close then accelerate hard.
This throws the dog off and puts the MUTT behind you then simply out run the dog. This works most of the time
However there are some exceptions

And don't kick at the dog, you could lose your balance and crash.

Re: DOG????????
IIRC...
PC §9.22. NECESSITY. Conduct is justified if:
(1) the actor reasonably believes the conduct is immediately necessary to avoid imminent harm;
(2) the desirability and urgency of avoiding the harm clearly outweigh, according to ordinary standards of reasonableness, the harm sought to be prevented by the law proscribing the conduct; and
(3) a legislative purpose to exclude the justification claimed for the conduct does not otherwise plainly appear.
I am not a lawyer. This is NOT legal advice.!

Re: DOG????????
Don't look for reasons TO shoot.
Shoot when you have no other option to protect yourself.
Had I been walking down the street and a pack of pitbulls
came running at me, most likely. If I could climb on a car hood, I would.

Re: DOG????????
if you just stop the dog will stop, all they are looking for is a chase; be big and show some kindness.
Some parents say it is toy guns that make boys warlike. But give a boy a rubber duck and he will seize its neck like the butt of a pistol and shout "Bang!"......George Will

Re: DOG????????
Why is it that every one wants to know about shooting dogs? IANAL, and IMO a jury of your Texas CHL Forum peers would give you 99 years in the state pen for shooting their dog. If you can outrun it on your motorcicle why would you stop and shoot the dog?Oldgringo wrote:How loud is your bike?

Re: DOG????????
Although I recently sold my latest bike I have been riding for over 35 years. I'm not crazy stupid with skills, but I don't think you would ever have the time to draw and shoot before the dog would be on you in a situation like this and remain on your bike. The easiest, and best, thing to do IMHO would be just what you did.
