So what happens when I have my concealed weapons permit and I pull into a driveway feel threatened by a dog and shoot it dead fearing for my safety? Would the police understand that I was just protecting myself or would I be facing all kinds of charges?

Depends on who owns the dog.....

It would be up to the property owner who you should be facing at this point. And he would have a perfect right to terminate you as a direct threat. Or he could offer mercy or an equitable agreement on your trespass.

It would be up to the property owner.

I said that sarcastically........If he shot a cop or politicians dog the penalties would be different than if he shot my dog.

Correct, if he were a cops dog that would be assault on an officer as k-9 dogs are considered L.E. . As far as a politicians, even they can't stem the tide of dog killings made by L.E.

The Berwyn Heights mayor's residence drug raid was a controversial action taken by the Prince George's County, Maryland, Sheriff's Office and Police Department at the home of Berwyn Heights mayor Cheye Calvo on July 29, 2008. The raid was the culmination of an investigation that began in Arizona, where a package containing 32 pounds of marijuana was intercepted in a Fed Ex warehouse, addressed to the mayor's residence. In spite of intercepting the package in transit, the police allowed the package to be delivered, and once the package arrived at the house, a SWAT team raided and took the mayor and his mother-in-law into custody, killing his two dogs in the process.
The event gained national and international media attention. While the Calvos were cleared of wrongdoing, the police were accused by the Calvos and civil rights groups of lacking a proper search warrant, excessive force, and failure to conduct a proper background investigation of the home being raided. Despite the criticisms, no action has been taken against the officers or their respective police departments. In August 2010, Sheriff Jackson stated, “we'd do it again. Tonight.”

If a mayor can't find Justice what chance do you think an average Joe is gonna get?

Austin: Texas liberals import more liberals from California in order to replicate San Francisco. Th complete the process, a police chief was hired from California.

This is the result.

Just think, if a police dog was shot and killed at point blank range by a "civilian" this story would be receiving a lot more attention from the media.

Oh by the way where's PETA at?... lol Judging by past incidences of ridiculous perceived animal rights violations they've protested, PETA should be outraged about this.

There sure will, and another one the day after that, and the day after that and the day after that, until I get banned, get carted off or die.

Because this is happening just about every single day now.

And as the noose tightens, and as more cops go to a war footing, it will happen more and more.

It's called a "police state" for a reason.

Now for the important question. When will man become considered a dog to the law? Perhaps we're closer than you think.

Pretty sure I read an article a while back, talking about how we are classified as "animals" in some laws currently on the books. Besides most cops think we are all scum of the earth b.c we are not one of them.

Certainly a cop dog's life is legally regarded as "higher" than a Mundane's.
