everything would've been fine...
Perry says he needed just one shot from his laser-sighted pistol to take down a coyote that was menacing his dog during an early morning jog in an undeveloped area near Austin.
...
When the coyote came out of the brush toward his daughter's labrador retriever puppy on a February jog, he charged it and shot it with his .380 Ruger pistol.And if bad went to worse, he didn't need to shoot that poor thing. All he needed was a pen or a rat-tail comb. Or maybe he could have just pointed and laughed at it. Yeah, that's the ticket.
In all seriousness, I have to wonder if anti-gun people have even a glimmer of an idea how stupid they sound when they say people don't need guns. Sure, that was a coyote, but I really don't think a criminal deserves any more consideration just because he is allegedly human.
