I think this is the best forum for a question like this. Recently a dog has decided to start hanging out in my alley. It appears aggresive but has not made a move in my direction yet. I have my lifetime permit and usually carry a Kel Tec P32 or my XD 40. What reprecussions would I face if the dog does get aggressive and I have to finish him? How aggressive doe the dog have to get before I within my rights to defend myself? Does the dog have to be gnawing on my leg? Keep in mind I live in the metro area, and I am sure the 5.0 would be on me in a hurry. I assume they would tell me to bury the dog and life would go on? Or would they confiscate my pistol and investigate, possibly take my permit away? Sorry, a lot of questions, but I figure I should ask people with this kind of knowledge.
Another answer would be to call animal control, but here in Indy I hear the response time is in the weeks to months.
