Sorry I wasn't specific. I saw where you mentioned they called the police. Did the responding officer advise you on a course of action of contacting animal control or anything of that nature or did he just state you are within your rights to protect yourself from the dog?
No... He pretty much just wrote down my contact info and asked for my story.
I told him about it.
He then told me if i had discharged my firearm i may have received a citation for discharging a firearm within beverly shores.
My response to that was something along the lines of "if i had fired, it would have been in self defense, i would have done so only if i had seen blood, or was being personally mauled... and under those circumstances i don't believe theres any way a charge like that would stick".
He agreed, and told me that he had to shoot a couple of dogs before and he knew how that feels.
I asked him if he had met the dog up the street yet.
To that he replied "not yet".
And i told him which dog it was, to be careful around it, and asked him to notify the owners to keep there damn dogs restrained for the safety of everyone around them.
I think he said "will do"... and that was about it.
Nothing about any kind of follow ups, contacting animal control... nothing.
I don't even know what happened with them yet... probably nothing.
