calling shooting experts here, need some advice

[Jenny429]

Wow.....Are you ok? I mean.. that sounds like an awful experience.. I think I'd just about die. I'm sorry you and your baby had to go through that. I'm glad it looks like everything is ok..

I think I'd be freaking out on the people even if it were "my" fault.. I mean.. that wasn't self defense..

man, this is a crazy story. I mean crazy! But i don't know what is more amazing...the fact that your dog had no hesitation running into someone's house, or that someone would be so crazy to empty a magazine of bullets inside his own house, or that this person is such a bad aim that he emptied a magazine of bullets without hitting the target even once?

I mean, really, this has got to be one of the most amazing stories i've read in a long time. Do you have any idea how much bullets ricochet? Not to mention the plaster, cement, and any tiles on the floor would be flying everywhere. Houses here are made of concrete...there would be some serious cement splatter, not mention the dog would be bleeding everywhere.

Plus, there's the cost effectiveness of emptying a magazine of bullets. Bullets are expensive here. I'm not sure it would justify the cost of using all your bullets on one dog...unless the dog is eatable. Was gunman Asian?

Another thing, we haven't into the logistics of the bullets penetrating the walls and hitting other people in the house or the neighbors house. Bullets have a tendency to carry through concrete block, but of course, this depends on the caliber of bullet. Was he holding a .50, 30-30, or any kind of Buffalo looking rifle or machine gun--which would have been secured to gun turret a large tripod-looking gun mount in his living room?

Another thing to consider--i've been around a lot of guns, the noise within the confines of his room would have left a ringing noise in his ears, your dogs ears, and your ears if you were in the same room. did you notice him wearing any ind of ear protection...maybe a pair of winter earmuffs?

Some redneck gun fanatics will have a gun turret securely mounted to their kitchen table, Dining room table, or bolted down into the base of the concrete floor, or on top of a dresser in their living room. Did you notice any of these things while you were in his house?

PS. In the event that he hit your dog with a large caliber bullet...did you notice any recognizable pieces of your dog on his kitchen cabinets or living room walls?

We rednecks call that "proper gun storage"... :classic:

 

[dv8]

hmmm... i'd be skeptical myself if i heard the story too but that's what happened

the dude was shooting from around the corner, basically sticking the gun out, like in action movies. only in the action movies it works and the bodies fall on the floor like wheat ears during the harvest. and here it did not work much. the noise was not too loud but there was lots of smoke and very strong gunpowder smell. or whatever that thing is, the smell of burnt chemicals.

i cannot say about ricochets, there was so much mayhem from the chase itself... and the only other large object in that room apart from my dog was me, so i was the only one who could have gotten the bullet. not exactly an uplifting thought, is it?

i am kinda chillin' person in general and i do not fret. i also do not shun away from the responsibility. it was my fault that the dog entered the house. even if i think the dude has overreacted big time. i'm just glad no damage was done to the dog.

 

[CaptnGlenn]

so this A-hole is shooting blindly into a room with not only the dog in it, but YOU were in there too?????? You are damn lucky YOU didn't get hit. A human presents a bigger target profile than a dog. Lucky lucky lucky. Someone should take that gun from "Hawkeye" and shove the thing up his you know where.

 

[dv8]

he was high on adrenaline and i was just out of sight for him, i guess. he might not even know i was there at all.

miesposo went there already, all is good. yapping dog is fine. even the dude said she had it coming... he did not mention shooting, maybe he holds no permit. we are fixing the screen doors at our expense.

all's well that ends well, right?

Ok, after re-reading something what i wrote about "Rednecks," it made me realize a statement i made earlier needs to be qualified: Rednecks tend to have the gun turret securely fastened to their kitchen table...the kitchen table is normally near a window overlooking a bluff or a large back yard or field--this way when the deer or elk cross their property, their able to look up from their cornflakes, take aim, and shoot at the prey without missing breakfast.

My mother keeps her gun turret fastened down to her bedroom dresser; this way she only has to look up for a few seconds from Judge Judy or Glenn Beck, take aim, and then shoot the prey without missing some new conspiracy theory. Later, when the commercial comes on, she goes out back and ties the deer or elk to her Ford Pinto and then pulls it back to her shed where she cleans it up. we have a large table saw--the kind you see at butcher shops--where she can cut the meat up and freeze it down. although, she likes to hang the meat upside down for a few days in order to cure it.

Anyway, what kind of neighborhood do you live in? and what nationality is your neighbor who took shots at your dog? and what was he wearing while he was shooting?

love frank

 

[dv8]

iz a normal neighbourhood, ya know? the dude is dominican yorkie, i think. dressed in a blond wig and red leather body suit from britney's oops i did it again video. or maybe not my vision was fogged because of stress, fear and sweat.

Frank, if you read the posts by DV 8. A .22, especially if it were shorts or longs makes only a "pop" when firing, quieter if a pistol as opposed to revolver

it was a real tiny thingy like something strapped to the tight of a bond girl. toilet paper is a good idea. i think if i rub her nicely tomorrow while washing i will see if there is any blood on white shampoo froth.

I'm beginning to think he may have had blanks in gun?

 

[dv8]

could be. could be even gas gun or whatever they are called in english although i think there'd be some effect of firing so many rounds of that in enclosed space... and there was a woman inside who kept on shouting did you kill it?! did you kill it?! so i presume that i least she was thinking there were normal bullets...

again, i am sorry, i do not know enough about guns to say what was it.

Stay well clear of guns, dogs, and Dominicans.

OMG...i see another incorrect statement i made earlier in my post. People who fire guns inside their homes...when not hunting or shooting at Norwegian rats....are not right in the minds. There's a lack of brain activity in their right hemisphere of their brain. Take for example my mother, Mabel. Mabel lives in a trailer park in Ohio and has a gun turret mounted to her bedroom dresser. I incorrectly stated that she maybe momentarily interrupted from Judge Judy or Glen Beck to take aim and shoot at a passing deer or elk, but really, if we're going to be perfectly honest here, she is more likely to be watching Fox news or the O'Reilly Factor when she gets inspired by recent reports of socialism invading the USA. When she here's these kinds of reports, she gets into a squat position behind her .50 caliber gun turret and shoots at trespassers, hippies, squirrels, possums, skunks, deer, elk, or anyone she suspects as being communist. It's a crazy world out there and getting crazier...you need to embrace the craziness and make it work for you...i should know, i'm related to Mabel.

Chris Mathews was the keynote speaker at my daughter's college commencement a few years ago... He did a great job. I knew his name but was unfamiliar with his show / politics prior to that. He kept editorial comment out of the talk, and really addressed it to the graduates. It was entertaining.

sorry for the off topic comment. ;-)

I wonder what a .50 cal would do to a squirrel???? vaporize it I suspect.

 

[david_]

Don't worry so much, if your dog was hit both you and the dog would know it

 

[dv8]

one thing i noticed in the morning is lots of bruises on my right arm and a swollen finger that might have been strained or twisted. i felt nothing last night...

 

[Criss Colon]

I saw a dead guy :dead::dead::dead:, shot in the head with a .50cal. at close range.
At least I was told that he was shot in the head.
He didn't have a head anymore! :surprised:surprised:surprised
