[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Ever asked a cop if he's shot a dog? I did..........last night.....sorry, no pics.

Posted: 1/15/2006 4:40:58 PM EDT

Last night, I'm sitting down having a drink (double jack, rocks) waiting on my fajitas. Guy is next to me and through the conversation I hear that he's an LEO. I lean over and say

"SO, have you ever shot any dogs?"

I shit you not, he says "Oh hell I've killed tons of dogs"

It was at the Arkansas hometown forum get together it was an arfcommer but he doesn't post in GD.

ETA he also at one point used the phrase "Back home I used to kill em wholesale"

I witnessed the said conversation, and yes the JBT is a dog killer, but he did smoke atleast one of them in self defense. But then again isn't that what they always say?

And he was holding his gun thug style

It's even more funny when you have a pit bull growling on a leash and he says not lately and then promptly smokes your dog because it's growling at him/her. Now that's some funny stuff

I shot a couple with a paintball gun. Does that count?

That's just retarded and animal cruelty.

Yes...

I have a friend who's a SWAT sniper and he literally said that the flash-bangs put them out of action.

He doesn't have to shoot them...

That's good, I hate paying those inflated retail prices on dog-killings.

I dont think thats quite animal cruelty. Paintballs dont hurt THAT bad. It is certainly less cruel than killing it

I didn't do it to be cruel. I did it to get the damn beagles out of my back yard so I could get some sleep. They would show up at 9:00 in the morning and start baying in my back yard when I was working third shift. I tried yelling at them and chasing them out of my yard but they would return the next day. After about a week of it I decided to hit them in the ass with a few paint balls. They didn't return after that.

How bout stupid and pointless. Seriously wtf is the point of it? To get your rocks off hurting a dog for no reason? And they hurt enough.

Confession here: I have killed dogs, it wasn't animal cruelty. They were mangy(sic?)strays, and kept gettin in my trash. 12ga 00 works nicely at about 20 steps. 22LR to the back of the head works nicely also, but only for those 50+yd shots.

I think I may apply for a job on a police force. I got skills.

Yep. Sounds like a plan.

But I did know of a cop who...ah...tagged a St. Bernard on the head with his Maglight enough to dent the tube. He had a heck of a time changing batteries. And whild Fido was stunned he took out his gun and shot it. That was back in the early '80s, and like a good arfkomer, he did both!

Say....I wonder if he's here.....??

In Pulaski County you have to be on the SWAT Team to be certified to shoot a dog...

I was with a cop in Burger king once, and asked him if he has shot any dogs. He said yes. I just started laughing and told him about Ar15.com always poking fun at cops for shooting dogs. I dont think he understood.

What about cats? Since all cops are expert marksmen, capable of making headshots against fully armored felons with automatic weapons with nothing greater than a 92FS, I would have thought that the dog qualification shoot would be a standard course of fire.

Now cats....THAT'S a challenge.

One of my guys did a few weeks ago. Took 5 .45s to the head/neck area to drop a large pit bull mix. First round took part of the lower jaw off.

He's bucking for a promotion.

Here you go, Vanillia. Have your range-master run off a couple of hundred of these. Should help your boys.

Thanks for the pic! This is going to be good when I get back to the office tomorrow!

I guess I would be considered a "T" around here(they won't let me wear jack boots)

I've got two under my belt, a Rottie and a Pit, not bragging here. The Rottie was acting rabid in a school yard and the Pit had bitten one lady pushing a stroller and had treed a jogger, plus had no tags.

I love dogs, I have two chocolate labs

And yes flashbangs usually make them piss themselves and wimper off into a corner.

I always figured that you had to shoot a dog before you got to be SWAT.

Now I find out that I had it backwards all these years.
