So you’re saying your are armed while hiking? Do you have a permit? Is that allowed on BLM land? You’re saying you’ll shoot his dog?
“So you’re saying your are armed while hiking?”
For the sake of argument, I’ll say Yes
“Do you have a permit?”
Same answer, and I’ll add that I shouldn’t need a permit other than the 2nd ammendmnt
“Is that allowed on BLM land?”
Did the BLM somehow repeal the 2nd ammendment?
“You’re saying you’ll shoot his dog?”
If it attacks me, hell yes. If the shepherd attacks, I’d shoot him too.
“So you’re saying your are armed while hiking? Do you have a permit? Is that allowed on BLM land?”
LOL,, omg, you REALLY aren’t from around here, are you? No permit needed. Not on BLM or Nat Forests in New Mexico and Colorado. Only national parks had some restrictions, and those are mostly gone now too. So yes, i pack a very slick 1911 45acp. In fact im horrified at hiking without.
“You’re saying you’ll shoot his dog?”
Well I’d prefer not to. And if i can avoid it, i sure would. It isn’t the dogs fault, but that doesnt mean i’ll get mauled out of softheartedness. So i would likely try to back away if possible, or fire a shot in front of it to hopefully dissuade it if it continued being aggressive.
But as a last yes, resort i have no obligation to get bitten. Especially since i will never do anything to bother livestock. For everyone who says back away,, that doesn’t always work. It can make a dog more agressive when they see you backing down. So he might wind up getting his lamp blowed out.
Very sad for the dog,, but i blame the owner. And im surprised at people who think it’s just fine to release an aggressive animal on public land and then screech if someone defends theirself.
Not an American are you? Americans don't need permits to carry firearms on public range, either in forests or non-forested land. Yes, carrying a firearm is "allowed" on BLM land. I believe DesertRhino was saying if the dog attacked him he would shoot it. A simple case of self defense.
BLM and NF sevice land is open to the public and you can be armed on it.
