Here's an update. Nobody was in any danger from the shoplifters. The woman may face charges for firing her weapon.
2 arrested on Home Depot shoplifting, shooting
If you or someone else is getting mauled go ahead and shoot it. Some dogs bite because they are territorial, like Chows. Shoot whatever you want whenever you want. Don't let me stop you.
There's nothing wrong with saving someone from harm or death. It's when someone simply decides that when he gets bit it's time to break out the gun and shoot something.
I would most certainly have intervened, much to the detriment of the dogs. Simply because a dog bites me I'm not going to light it up. If it continues to do so then, yes. Fido is going to have a few new holes in himself.

Keeping track of who owns what is the first step in confiscation. If it's stolen from you then you report it as such. If you sell it you're no longer responsible.
Knowing who owns what gun does nothing to hamper any illegal gun trade. Criminals don't register their gun purchases. Nor do they submit to a background check before they steal a gun or buy one out of the trunk of a car.
Many moons ago in high school I worked for a veterinarian, working with many different breeds of dog. Except for one vet's golden retriever the "pitbulls" (meaning dogs physically similar to what is called a pitbull) were the most docile. That's not to say they couldn't be aggressive, because...
