Manpower alone wasn't there to corral them, much less the expertise or equipment. The cops on scene had to do their best to get control as fast as possible and I don't think I'd have taken a different tack myself.

I've got no problem with killing an animal for food or self defense, and I'm even good with the concept of killing in order to protect crops. But this is a case of a bunch of cops with too much ignorance and too little training barging into a situation they have no experience with--which directly lead to the killing of 18 members of an endangered species.<br /><br />And you folks are just dancing in the blood. Way to give the Gun Culture a good public image.

Even little alley cats can take a bunch of killing (please don't ask me how i know this). <br /><br />The PH that I'm acquinted with who hunts leopard over in Africa can tell you first hand that they take a lot of killing and are very, very vindictive when you wound them. They don't run away. They come after your ass. Look up the history of the old "buck 'n'ball" Howdah pistols for a quick lesson on how dangerous tiger hunting is, even when you're mounted 12 or 15 feet up on an elephant. <br /><br />What I'm trying to say is that your .44 magnum idea will likely do nothing more than piss it off.

If it doesn't have a Hold Open, it needs to be in PLAIN view or "Stripped". The Driver must be Legal to have a Gun in Ohio in the first place and no Ammo in them. So take your .405 Contender barrel off and help hunt some Grizz!<br /><br />FWIW, they just had the Law Change that CHL Permit Holders can carry their Handgun however they want to in the Car. Went into effect on 30 Sept. Guess someone got in trouble for putting it in the Glovebox, and not on their Body, and they won in Court. Of course, that pissed off the Antis, because a non-CHL Passenger can now just grab it and start mowing down Nuns and Orphans when they go Nuts or something...<br /><br />BTW, I checked with MY Buddy the Cop again, and he said his Dept. never had any trouble with that guy, but his Dept IS on the other end of the County. But all the cops in the area knew that there might be trouble down the road, so Plan A was to Mount up and bring the Firepower, just in case. Still don't like the fact that those Critters had to have their lives ended that way because their owner was a jerk, though.Bubblehead Les.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00730873284089958084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-66056309979567519482011-10-19T12:15:20.898-04:002011-10-19T12:15:20.898-04:00cj,
