good for ya on doing the right thing....on another note, we are just looking into getting our first dog for the kids and my thoughts are also on the responsibility of the dog owner and the damage caused to your truck. What's the opinion here of that part of it? Is there any level of participation to help fix your truck if my dog runs out in front of you? Kinda like being finacially responsible for my kids damaging your stuff....I guess....
I'm Venting.....

Good Job you did the right thing.. To bad theres people out there though like that. I'm printing your story out to try convincing more people I know and help express why I carry a gun. Glad you didn't have to take it one step farther!

Obviously this dude was a chitty dog owner anyway, a kenneled dog is a safe dog, sorry to hear about a good dog going, but was probably bound to happen. What a story, scary thing to me is you are not to far from where I am at, and I never thought that stuff happens here.
A friend of mine is a DEA in Vegas and he got totally torqued at me for not having a concealed weapons license. He said if we only knew how many people out there are carrying weapons illegally, we wouldnt leave the house without one.
If that were me I would have been screwed, got me thinking, post me a picture of that Kimber pistol, like the idea of that palm safety...

wow, that sounds like an eventful night. Good thing your ok and you did'nt have to hurt the other guy. Makes me want to go a get a pistol permit.....
I feel bad for you and the dog.....not the dog owner, if he loved his dog he wouldn't let it run loose to play in the hiway.
Sounds like you handled it responsibly, perhaps the owner is a better person when sober....alcohol makes people act irrationally and then seeing his dog...well, none of us know how we might act in that situation. Glad it turned out OK for ya!

good on ya for doing what you could to take control of the situation. You did the same thing i would have done after hitting the dog but who would expect a situation arise like that. At least it turned out halfway possitive

Good for you Nate. The crazy part is if you turn it into your insurance and they get a bug up their butt they can go after his homeowners policy, if he has one, as he is actually responsible for your damages since it was his dog that he didn't control. Anyway once again good for you and be glad you live in Wy where you can actually use your CCP without needing a team of lawyers in your pocket.
Wow Nate, you just have all the fun! Maybe you should just stay home from now on. Got pulled over for having a headlight out a couple years back. My Dad and I had been hunting and the front seat was pilled high with shotguns and rifles. When the sheriff looked in he just said "Wow! Are any of those loaded?" We told him no and he was fine. You needed a guy like that.
So Nate, you going to file charges against him? Did he file charges against you. He's in the wrong, but how many people at the party will tell the turth?
Got Red Dot?
Got Red Dot?

Nope, im going to just leave it at that and fix my truck on my own
And I dont think he has the nuts to try and file charges against me, his facial expression changed about as many colors as there are in the rainbow when I unstrapped my gun.
I didnt hear anything from him today, I didnt sleep much last night. This whole situation has me freaked out, and I hope I never ever have to pull my pistol on anyone ever again. I do however appriciate my pistol alot more. Just not a good situation

Thats the handgun
On a situation such as this, im just going to leave it. When you kill someones dog I think it would be a little snide to have them pay for the truck, thats just my opinion.
Just imagine if someone's kid came walking into the street and you hit the kid and total your truck. I just look at it like that.
As for the highway patrolman, well, he couldnt believe someone needed that many guns, and he was a d!ck about the situation, he kept me in the back of that car as long as he could, he went as far as wanting me to dissasemble my M21 loaded to make sure it wasnt a class III firearm
I hope to never hear from this guy, ever. But I feel more strongly on everyone carrying a pistol or some sort of defense mechanism. It seriously makes me look at strangers and people in alot more negative way.
But thanks for the support, that does make me feel better
holy crap..
You did the right thing by trying to figure out who owned the dog and not leaving it by the highway. My best friend just had his dog ran over by a car last week and they just left it. He told me that he wished that who ever hit it would have stopped and told him instead of having to look for him and eventually finding him dead. Good for you just sorry that it came out the way it did.
Good on You
Nate my internet friend you are a bigger man than I for scraping that poor dog off the pavement to do the right thing and I applaud you.
My dog was hit once out front of my place, I heard the skid, and the dog yelp so I ran outside and saw the car leaving the scene! I turned to jump in my truck and give chase only to realize the guy had pulled over a little bit up the road and was already out of his car with a flashlight looking for my dog (who had crawled back under a bush with its pelvis broke) he ran over to the dog and was trying to help before I could get over to the dog. Man I was so upset but I thanked the guy for trying to help it was my fault the dog got out but that guy really impressed me for coming back!
You did the right thing buddy, the guy was a loser and drunk forget about him and have a cold on me!

on me!Nate,
I applaud you for trying to make right of the situation. It is very unfortunate to give bad news to someone. It sucks that the situation turned out as it did. Did the officer ask for permission to search your truck?
I don't really see why the officer would search your truck. You didn't commit any crime at all. You did nothing wrong. There really was no probable cause as it isn't a crime to have guns.

Dont let it bother you Nate, some people are born ignorant and will always be that way. What is it with troopers anyway? I dont want to hijack your thread but Ill share a story also. My family and I were heading up the mtn on a Friday night in Jan. with the motorhome to sled for the weekend. It was starting to snow and I was following a Toyota previa that would not pull over and was going all of 35 mph. Well after riding his behind for 10 miles he finally pulls over and I pulled away doing 60. Not even a mile down the road an on coming car flashes his hi-beams at me. I had my low-beams on so I gave him the quick flashback to let him know.Well, he goes by and its a state trooper and I see him stomp on his brakes and start sliding and trying to stop. By this time we were driving along the river and the road was barely two lanes with 12ft high snow banks on each side. Well Barney Fife decides to pull me over right there and shut down Hwy 22 in both directions in a snow storm. He came up and yelled at me to pull over at the next turn out which was 5 miles up the road. So I look like OJ in the low speed pursuit for the next few miles trying to find a spot to get my motorhome and trailer that is 65ft long, off the road.When I finally get stopped he ran up and yelled I wasnt trying to have a pissing contest with you. Well he was mad because I had my driving lights on also. Evidently that is illegal. Well, I tried to be nice and just take the lecture but he was threatening to have me towed and blah, blah. He stormed back to his car and wrote me a ticket for impeding traffic?Then I got pissed and it went downill from there. BTW I go to court tomorrow. My question is how many vehicles on the road have some form of driving lights on and some you cannot turn off. Sorry Nate again for hijacking your thread and as the owner of a yellow lab I would have apreciated what you did.
