Upshur County, no animal control here either. I don't mow unarmed. Or go to the shop. It's not fun to wag a gun around, but I know how Pisstawff I would be at myself if I got my dumbass mauled because I was too lazy to Be responsible for my own safety. That community needs to put a hunting party together. That pack of dogs is a clear threat. Aguila makes a 22 LR with just the primer for the propellant,it's quieter than pellet rifle.
Cleveland is a city in the U.S. state of Texas, within the Greater Houston metropolitan area and Liberty County. The population was 7,471 at the 2020 census. The average individual income in 2023 was $36,500.
The short version: It's a suburb of Houston. The likely thing is that most people there are prohibited from owning firearms as a result of their records.
Cleveland is my hometown. Everybody I knew owned a gun when I was growing up there (1969-1980). Heck, we'd walk down the shoulder of TX 321 carrying our shotguns and rifles, and we were teenagers. But we lived outside the city limits and nobody gave a damn about us. There are probably ordinances against discharging a firearm in city limits, though.
It is fairly close to Houston, but it was way out in the boonies when I was a kid. It's getting less "boonies" every year. Splendora, TX, the next town closest to Houston, had a population of 194 when I lived there, and it has almost 1700 people now. Porter and New Caney were small towns; now they've been swallowed up by the Houston suburban sprawl.
They've got something almost as bad--Colony Ridge, which has turned the tiny town of Plum Grove (next door to Cleveland and only a couple of miles from where I grew up) into a giant shithole. https://houstonlanding.org/colony-ridge-everything-you-need-to-know-about-liberty-countys-largest-developer/
Might be a generational thing too, but out in rural areas, it's understood by people my age and older that dogs running loose that attack livestock and people who otherwise don't have it coming will get dispatched without warning. If you're the dog's owner, sucks to be you, but you have that same right if it's your neighbor's dog misbehaving.
This is what happens when you depend upon someone else to provide your security..... the sheriff has already told you what you can do..... put your big girl panties on and take care of business....... versus calling the news to whine and bitch about it
And if someone used a gun to protect themselves they would likely find themselves arrested for discharging a firearm in town.

ReplyDeletePal, I don't know where you are referring to but out here in the sticks of West Texas, that is not the case.
DeleteI thought it was a law to own a gun down there.

The county could send a detective out to track the pack (not mob!) of dogs down & take care of the problem.

.22 Colibri. I have a couple dozen boxes of those, as well as Super Colibris. You are right about the Colibris. My Ruger .22 air rifle is louder.

DeleteWonder what happened to my neighbor's dogs after they came onto my property and attacked my dog. Guessing they moved or went on permanent vacation.

Not quite. It's 45 miles from Houston and so far out into the country you'd think the zip code was EIEIO. Lots of mobile homes and not a lot of money.

Can't they import some Haitians?

DeleteEmpty a mag into the house every time the dogs get out.

I carry when walking my dog down here in south Texas. Been attacked more than once (Which prompted me to carry more often). Quite the experience...
