It happened in Miami, Florida.\u00a0 George Doughty fired upon two loose dogs in his neighborhood; both belonging to his neighbor. One dog was fatally wounded while the pregnant Rottweiler survived.\u00a0 Florida’s laws on concealed weapons are very clear.\u00a0 You may only use a concealed weapon to protect yourself from “death or serious bodily harm.”\u00a0 Was this the case or was this the result of a neighbor dispute?\u00a0 Mr. Doughty said he fired on the two after they attacked him and his dog. The fact that Mr. Doughty had previously threatened to kill his neighbor’s dogs does not bode well either. Doughty made the threat after his own dog was attacked by the two.\u00a0 Doughty said he would kill his neighbor’s dog’s if he saw them “walking around.”<\/p>\n

As a CCW holder and dog owner myself, I don’t think Mr. Doughty acted in a prudent manner.\u00a0 There’s only one purpose for using a concealed weapon and that is to protect your life.\u00a0 There are\u00a0many action’s Mr. Doughty could have taken instead:<\/p>\n
