Its all about shot placement. I have put down 1800 pound bulls and large cows with a .22LR. Hogs as well.

The article then went on to recommend a .308 over the .223 for HD. :lol:

I know you're kidding, but some folks might not be aware that you can't carry dangerous ordnance in Ohio, licensed or not.

It's a darn shame... :)

Continuing with Bob's Hornady reference:

308 Win 150 gr GMX - 2648 ft/lb (muzzle), 2243 ft/lb (100 yd), 1311 ft/lb (400 yd)

or -

.308 Win., 110 gr. TAP - 2446 ft/lb (muzzle), 1956 ft/lb (100 yd), 935 ft/lb (400 yd)

But I don't think I'll be using that for HD anytime soon.
Supposedly, that TAP stuff expands very quickly, thus limiting over-penetration. Still, probably not something to use in the apartment complex.

Not to mention, no lowly civilian type is allowed to own a G18. That stupid 1986 rule :evil:

You speaketh truth, BobK.

But dogs are just animals, making the kill quick is the humane thing to do, even if they're a one of those "assault" breeds.
Rapists or child molesters on the other hand, do deserve the other head-shot...

I know. I need sensitivity training...

What the heck is an assault breed?

As with those EBRs, it's any breed of dog that BIG media doesn't like or wishes to sensationalize (i.e. pitbulls). Seemed an apt joke for the thread, making fun of their absurdity with even more absurdity.

LOL. We recently had a rabid raccoon at work (not on the payroll, and we were pretty sure that he wasn't from the safety office). We called the SO (after hours) and they dispatched a deputy - took 7 rounds of 45 to put down the raccoon.

Shot placement.
