Neighbor Problems

[Stonewall]

We admitted it was off topic.  We'll stop now.

No, I'm not mad, just saying, I thought this was the topic or a discussion in another thread on CAP Talk and maybe somehow got mixed into the "Neighbor" thread.  Just sayin'.

EDIT:  My bad, I looked back and somehow we topic drifted on like page 2 or something.  Continue, nothing to see here...I'd do push-ups but I'm still on profile.

Kirt,

Are you truly done with this now?  Any chance Cheech (or is he Chong?) can go to the pound and bail it out?  It would suck to go through all this, only to have the mutt show up again in a couple of days and start causing trouble again.

I'm guessing since the critter was aggressive to the ACO, that they will most likely quarantine and euthanize it as a menace.  But it is something to think about.

Might also want to talk with your bros at the PD and see if they'll extend a fellow officer the courtesy of some extra patrols through your 'hood.  Those types of dogs are usually kept for a specific purpose, and you don't want Cheech's crew showing up torqued off because their stash protection got pinched.

I'm sure you know all this stuff, but check-six anyway, will ya?

Sp would it be safe to assume that if the neighbor could get the dog back, that his name would become "Old Yeller" if he shows back up in your backyard? Not saying to make the dog into swiss cheese, but enough is enough. Gotta protect what is yours.

[Stonewall]

Since the guy said it wasn't his dog, I'm sure it ain't coming back.  After the fight the ACO had to go through, and the words "that dog ain't making it through the night", I think it's a done deal.

Of course, will cover my 6.

It's a shame animal control wouldn't come out. Animal control in my jurisdiction works Mon - Fri 8-5 as well, but they always have someone on call for "aggressive animals".  But if it ain't aggressive, they ain't comin'!

But until that happens, I don't want to be the neighbor that's known as the guy that will shoot your dog if I see it.  Kids in my neighborhood, and there are a lot of them, don't need to hear gunshots if I can help it.

Maybe it's time to file for an FFL, and obtain a suppressor or three. No worries about gunshots scaring the neighborhood. Plus, it allows reaquiring target much faster. I imagine that with your background, it wouldn't really be a problem.

I was actually a little disappointed in the police department's response.  If I were on duty and responded, I wouldn't have left until I knew the situation was under control.  The officer left without making contact or removing the dog from the property on Sunday.  Had to wait until Animal Control could show up on Monday.

Maybe a good time to put the mightier pen to use. Situations like that need to be submitted as complaints. It's a case that could have turned very nasty, even deadly, and the issue needs to be dealt with. The Animal Control Officer that came out could have at least tried your cellphone.

I just expect too much from my neighbors since I live in a decent neighborhood.  All it takes is one bad neighbor to ruin a neighborhood.

Does your HOA have any regular meetings? There are probably a few issues that need to be addressed. Too many cars is one thing that is considered a problem in many neighborhoods. Others have restrictions on  types of dogs. Cleanliness of yards is something that many cover too.

Your neighbor may be trying to be a good guy, but it sounds like he's a doormat. I don't know him, but it sounds like his good intentions are being taken advantage of by his kids.

An effective silencer can be made with a large potato.  Hollow out the inside, and put it on the end of your muzzle.

You bring your silencer, I will bring a potato gun.  Man....... what fun we could have. 

[Stonewall]

I'll bring Hummus.  We can have a hummuside.

[Major Lord]

Remember, before hollowing out your potato you must have a Class II manufacturers License, filled out a BATF form 1, and paid your $200.00 tax stamp. Where are you going to put the serial number on the potato? By the way, it is Suppressor, not a silencer... or possibly its just a hollow potato....

Why spoil the beauty of it with legalities?

hahah 

Good one.  Made me laugh tonight!

.22 CB Caps with a 2 liter soda bottle over the end of the barrel works just wonderfully (or so I am told by those who might do such things... )
