Anti-rights people often talk about guns as if they “Just Go Off”. Nope a modern gun will only discharge when the trigger is pulled. Some things do “Just Go Off”
Police call it a vicious attack on 48 year old Margaret Salcedo, who was out walking in Truth or Consequences Sunday afternoon when four pit bull mixes mauled her.
Witness Laura Russell heard the commotion and immediately called 911. She told KOB Eyewitness News 4 that Salcedo tried to grab her phone but a dog bit her arm and she dropped the phone.
Russell says the dogs bit Salcedo all over saying she looked like a rag doll.
Authorities think the attack lasted at least three minutes. The T or C police chief says an officer quickly arrived on scene and shot into the air to scare the dogs, and when a dog charged at the officer he shot and killed it.
People claim I should lock my guns up to keep people safe, but my guns will do nothing on their own. Dogs can.
This is not a slight on all dogs, just a general statement.
Also this is a reason to carry a gun, animal attacks don’t just happen in the wilderness, they can happen in the city as well. This is a “Gun Death?” story where a gun very well could have saved a life.

“People claim I should lock my guns up to keep people safe, but my guns will do nothing on their own. Dogs can.”
I’ve had this exact same argument with people before. They like to act as if guns somehow have minds of their own, when dogs actually do.
