I think this thread was about dogs. We've quite recently beaten the firearm topic into the ground.

Miss. Allison makes a point. Then again, so does Mr. Owen. I dont care to be approached by dogs that I am not familiar with. Remember the woman that was killed by two dogs in her appartment hallway in San Francisco a few years ago. If a dog appears threatening to me in the outdoors, I'll shoot it before I'll allow myself to be placed in danger. An irresponcible owner equals a lot of things in our world.

Then there's the flipside of "threatening" and hypersensitivity. You harm someone's dog on the trail because you have a tolerance problem, and that's also unacceptable. Sometimes hypersensitivity to "risk" can create a certain level of aggressiveness in the name of self defense.

There is a fine line in any recognition of danger. Everyone has the right to defend themselves at anytime, but it is *absolutely* critical that you *judge* that time/insident correctly and not over, or underact to the situation. This applys to dogs, other animals and people!
I didnt say it was easy.

If this forum continually reverts to "gunchat" its doomed.
Regarding dogs: What if everyone brought one? Wouldn't that be nice picinic?

I think it is okay to talk about past issues. How are we ever to get people to come onto this board if we limit ourselves to what "we" have talked about. This is a completely new topic for first time people and we should encourage more first time people.

I just want to add that I was not trying to be bitchy to you, backpacker joe, with my post. I was merely making a point with how your post came across to me. I don't know you so I don't know how, in fact, you are in those situations. But there are some out there (not saying that's you) who have no respect for and do not care to understand nature, so will shoot whatever they feel is in their way. Understanding goes a long way.
Which brings me to a new topic that I'll start on wild animals.....

Jesus Christ, what's wrong with you people? Is there ONE thing about that post that DOESNT speak of *responcibility* as an individual, and/or respect for other things. Be they animals OR people. Just because a *gun* is mentioned you guys shoot to the moon and get stupid! I explained that people, gun owners or not have a RESPNCIBILITY to make sure that they knew for SURE that they are or are not threatened in a particular situation. 90% of the time you *can* back out of a situation and not use violence to resolve it. I have!
I'd leave this board, but that would probably make you happy, and I cant have that!

A professor once told me if I use capitalized text for emphasis I should spell the word correctly. Otherwise, something other than the word is emphasized....

It is true that all dogs are equal, but some dogs are more equal than others. Rather than trying to teach the other dogs proper trail etiquette, perhaps it would be better when hiking to dress all in yellow but with a green cap on one's head. I have never seen a dog gnash its teeth at a fire hydrant.
