Chaltab, no offense but is your Dad some kind of hillbilly hick? 'Ah swear ah woulda shot that goddam sonnuvabitch and then ah woulda shot his goddam horse'. I'm not even going to try getting into the whole gun debate on this thread, but maybe guys on horses and Chalt's Dad should be a bit less trigger happy.

Several people in the last few years have been killed hitting horses with impaired riders, and that guy on the horse was drunk, or high, maybe, and riding in the middle of a street after the sun went down. I swear I didn't see him until we were two feet in front of him. My dad only drew his gun incase the horse guy flipped out and tried to attack him. Then, the INTOXICATED person on the horse pulled a 357 from his saddle (which is illiegal anyway, since he was drunk). My dad talked to the police about it and they said he had every right to drop him where he stood.

Several people in the last few years have been killed hitting horses with drunk riders, and my dad had his fiance, his two kids, and one of hers in the car with him. Sure, he could have been more civil, but I can't fault him for being angry, and I swear in the same situation I probbly would have shot the guy as soon as he drew a gun from his saddle. I honestly thought he would just flip out and shoot my dad.

I'm not denying that riding a horse in the middle of the street is dumb, especially when drunk or drugged. I'm alos not denying that the guy riding the horse was a dick for even thinking of pulling a gun on your dad or anyone else. It's just a shame that guns even come into it.
Just mu opinion though, and I have heard all the arguments for and against guns, and I can see where everyone is coming from, I just don't dig guns. Let's leave it at that.
