it would be more helpful if they had that requirement for a drivers' license.

Hell of a lot easier to anticipate and avoid a bad driver than to anticipate and dodge a bullet.

we've lived in our neighborhood 6 years. several of the old people that lived behind us have died and the properties have been sold. the people that bought them can't rent them for the outrageous amounts they thought they would get. they've turned them into section 8 rentals and we've had trash move into the neighborhood the last couple years. Now we have a dangerous criminal.

i turned off this guys electric (that's my job) and he threatens to "blow my head off". it was pretty creepy this time because it's in my backyard. the guy goes to the office and threatens the girls too. police show up at the office then pay a visit to his home. the guy has a rap sheet 3 pages long, most drugs, weapons and assault. he's done jail time but no prison time. we don't Think he knows where we live.
now i can't park in front of my house at lunch or bring the truck home when i'm on call. we have extra police patrols now.(we rarely used to see patrol car) the police have had trouble with this guy and are looking for a good excuse to lock him up.

we shouldn't have to live this way. needless to say we are looking to move and to taking lessons and buy hand guns.:wf

a PS to my post. the guy that threatened me was arrested yesterday afternoon. they made the arrest at his residence about 3:30pm.
he was picked up as part of a Drive-by shooting yesterday morning. AND for beating his gf up with a baseball bat.

take the guns from the criminals NOT the law abiding citizens!

i've always understood chows to be aggressive and very territorial-doesn't surprise me at all.

The Humane Society of the United States and PETA are trying to outlaw dog ownership right now. Have been for the past couple of years. Multiple states, multiple various bills - oh, and they are heavily involved in the new Congressional committee on animal welfare.

it's more their territorial nature that is their undoing-in this case, baby was an interloper. i don't think people realize how often the family dog does damage. why anyone would tempt fate with a dog and an infant is beyond me-people need to pay attention to what type dog they want and match it to their circumstances. you can't make the dog adapt.
