The cop's statement is ridiculous; would she be charged if she had shot the dogs? I hope she has a lawyer as she needs one.

She should have shot the dogs.

That could have been her daughter.

But Biden said you could fire a warning shot!

She forgot the line she is supposed to use.

In my town, it’s illegal to use a firearm unless dispatching a nuisance animal.

They don’t say anything about shooting and missing.

I guess a convenience store owner can get cited then for shooting a robber threatening to kill him?

She should have shot the dogs, why shoot the ground? She and her 4 year old daughter where and ARE at risk because these dogs still roam. Shame on the police for charging her. They should instead counsel her on aiming better, not taking a chance.

And could be in the future. Since she didn’t shoot the dogs and they were not caught, they are likely to return. It could be her 4 year old daughter next.

Unless there were witnesses, it sounds like she should have never called the police to begin with.

Trying to figure out why she would call the cops...

Shoot, shovel, and shut up, or else pay the Stupid Tax.

No “Warning Shots”!!

Shoot to protect your life or that of a loved one.

If you miss, you tell the cops you missed!!

Everyone in NM needs chickens. Chickens are classified as livestock and livestock owners are allowed to kill dogs that harass their livestock. That is all I have to say about that.

In that case the cops should tell you that you need more time at the range.

1) I would have killed both of the pit bulls.

2) I carry concealed. If one even goes for my dog (who is always on a leash) the penalty will be instant death.

I also don’t live in a socialist state where they would ever charge me with anything for acting in self defense. If they did, they’d lose in court and they know it - ergo they wouldn’t even try to press charges.
