BNolan apparently you are wrong. The only thing he is being charged with according to the story in the Herald is carrying the gun in a Federal Park. He is not being charged with shooting the dog, the reason is that there is no evidence that he was'nt defending himself. If you had read in my post about the ederly gentlman who was fishing and was bludgeoned to death. He had no fear for his life, fishing in a suburb , with little or no crime, trouble found him anyway. As far as people being blind to the fact that he was carrying a "loaded gun" , an empty gun will never save your life. What if it were not a dog, maybe a bear or a rabid fox, or coyote? I have gone out with my wife many times and I have been armed. The one time I left my gun at home, my wife was hoping that I had it. As far as your friends go it is their right not to carry if they want, all of my friends that are cops, carry while off duty. They do this because of the stuff they see every day while at work. Many of these guys never liked guns before, it was just part of the job. By the way if I was carrying a gun, you would'nt know, because it is concealed and I would'nt want you to know. I never tell my friends when I am carrying and when I am not. Where did you get this rumor that he pointed the gun at the owner? It was never mentione in any of the stories I read. If he did maby the guy threatened him after the fact as he was approaching the scene. The only people who know what happened are Frank, his wife, and the owner of the dogs, lets not speculate. If he had pointed the gun at the guy the police would have charged him with assault with a dangerous weapon.
Anyway John I thought this was a fishing board. This topic belongs elsewhere.
