I agree. Having the right to own and bear arms also comes with responsibility.

I don't own a pistol ...yet. But with the way this country is going I may buy one someday soon. But that means it comes with a huge responsibility.

I would only shoot at somone if they started shooting at me first or they tried to break into my house. Then I would defend myself and make sure that when they fell down that it was inside my house.


Here in IN we can shoot someone that's breaking into our homes.

But we can't shoot the neighbors dog if it's pooping in our yard.

I wonder if we can shoot the dog if it's attack us? I would hope so.

I only have two dogs in the neighborhood that I am worried about and they are both owned by the local drug dealers. I just wish the State Police would put them in prision and lock them up for good instead of letting them back out after a few weeks in the pokey.

Shooting someone across the street for stealing your gas is not!
