Since the Guarding dog's are carrying a lethal weapon at all times and using at will if they suspect a threat, it would seem reasonable for human's to also carry a lethal weapon for use if they suspect a threat. I think it's time to advocate for the safety of our brother's and sister's, not someone's bottom line.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437901534161780164.post-29025460869704922922014-07-18T22:42:22.246-04:002014-07-18T22:42:22.246-04:00hi-
