A pack of up to four pit bull terriers has been blamed for the death of a jogger in rural Los Angeles, with officials warning on Thursday that the dogs remained on the loose.

Sheriff's Lieutenant John Corina said a woman in a car saw the dogs attacking the female jogger, 63, on Thursday morning. The witness called police and blew her car horn to try to get the dogs to stop.

"When the first deputy on scene saw one dog still attacking the woman, he tried to chase the dog away," Corina said. "The dog ran off into the desert, then turned around and attacked the deputy, the deputy fired a round at the dog and tried to kill the dog, and the dog took off into the desert."

The woman died while she was in an ambulance on the way to a hospital, said Evelina Villa, county animal control spokeswoman.

The coroner's office was investigating to determine the cause of death.

Sheriff's officials were alerting people in the area to watch for four tan-coloured dogs and were were using a helicopter to search for them. It was unclear whether the dogs had collars or owners.

"In these areas you might have a situation where people dump animals out in rural areas," said John Mlynar, a spokesman for the nearby city of Palmdale. He haad never heard of an attack like Thursday's, Mlynar said.

Residents near the site of the attack said stray dogs were constantly roaming the area and had attacked people before.

"It's really scary," Diane Huffman, of Littlerock, told KABC-TV. "I don't know what to think. I really think I'm going to be getting a gun to protect myself."

Sorry but she can only have one if she joins a state recognized militia.

Was there really any doubt as to their intent?

Open mike reveals N.J. senators’ contempt for gun owners, confiscation goal

GUN RIGHTS
MAY 10, 2013

<snip>

A microphone left on after the gavel fell at a New Jersey Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee hearing Thursday shows the “true view” of some of the senators toward gun owners, and provides proof that gun confiscation is a goal on which they agree, the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs revealed in an email to members and supporters today.

Among the lines heard in the recording:

"We needed a bill that was going to confiscate, confiscate, confiscate.”

"They don’t care about the bad guys. All they want to do is have their little guns and do whatever they want with them.”

These "anointed ones" hold the rest of us in contempt. They only hide it when trying to get elected but the mask slips when the cameras aren't around (or they think they aren't). The storm is coming.

Yes. Yes it is.

KS Teacher Carrying faces prison/job loss
 
Sounds like Mr. Nagel (and some some supportive parents of students) are OK with a page from reality - except for that darn law.
(And he gets paid a hellluva lot less than Lois Lerner.)

Complete story here (2 pgs, read it all)

Includes a pretty damning assessment of a w i d e -open school from a security standpoint. Ok, you hand-wringing, ostrich-headed politicos, you want to dance on the blood of children; how many does it take until you understand that you can't wish away the monsters in the world?

that video is spot on....handguns are not great 'stoppers' and as we all know until the shot person bleeds enough to stop being a threat, multiple holes make them bleeed faster unless you get a great head shot.....unlikely under stress for the average armed civilian.

He needs to do another video for the "non-believers". I'd recommend he do a video of average police shootings from around the country where average "Joe/Josephine Cop" empties their high capacity magazine in almost "every" gunfight.:munchin

Excellent point - you can contact him here: Link

Give him some background, mention The Letter, make your suggestion. Maybe offer to help with a video showing liberal fantasy (you shooting) and reality (cops shooting).

Exactly! Of all the misunderstandings I have heard from non-military sources, this is probably the most frequently expressed. Non gun owners cannot fathom that every shot does not land where intended. I just ask them to spend a day at a range and observe. I have them watch these people who practice and are not under threat. That usually opens their eyes to a small dose of reality. I do not usually hear anything more about magazine size. Also, they encounter well mannered, polite people at the range - again, not what they are expecting.

Agreed. Here is Maryland now you wait up to 90+ days after the purchase of
a pistol to get a "not denied" stamp. What last year was 7 days, as by Md law.

Gun owners mad as hell.
