[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2239765, member: 1242"] The thing with kicking a dog is ... well ... unlike people, dogs tend to learn from their mistakes. If you take a kick at a dog that's been kicked before, and that dog wants a piece of you, you are screwed. Much as I love dogs, I'd shoot one I thought was not bluffing. That said, shooting would not be my first instinct. But then I've been around dogs all my life (and I don't mean I've had dogs as pets all my life) and understand some of the nuances of a dog's body language that most folks don't get. Just because a dog is barking and charging does not mean it is gonna attack you. A lot depends on it's training (or lack thereof) and previous interactions with people -- both big question marks that you are not gonna figure out in the time alloted if a dog is charging toward you. Tough call all the way around. [/QUOTE]
