Photo is from his Facebook page. I suspect he'll have something up on Gunblast about it soon.
Things that make you go hmmmm....

I wonder if the firing pin stuck forward and it fired out of battery.
I have watched those guns shoot(and with that 30rds in that caliber/that gun,will tell you it is fast. Sometimes under those circumstances an ammo problem can "bite you" (when you are in the moment.)pwl44m wrote:He was shooting at a dog and the third round didn't go off.

Nope, pulled His backup and dispatched it. Seems the dog had His Mother at bay and wouldn't let Her out of Her house. When He approached it came at Him. Sorry ! If U have FB or just go to Gunblast for the whole story,He did try to find the Owner to no avail.

God, what ever happen to just grabbing something and wacking its butt with a broom and telling it (GET)
Guess I should have shot my neighbors Ridgeback that was growling at me while changing my oil on my SUV
Try that one,looking out from under a vehicle and seeing pearly whites and he be "talking" to ya.
Kicked at it/yelled/jumped out w/oil filter wrench and yelled(Get) at that time I did not who owned dog!
Let me tell ya,usually if a dog(loose)is going to want to really bite ya(your bit)
Bet if the mom grabbed a bucket of water/came out being dominant/soaking the dog---it would have scooted.
Like the song says------------where have all the Cowboys gone???????
Course maybe some worry about themselves more than others suppose????????![]()
Maybe that is why I haven't been to a doctor in 6 years(but, proud of it)
But, I did go in 2009 to Walgreens(and have a non-doctor)shot giver hit me with a flu/phuemonia shot
I'm not familiar with other parts of the country, but around here, even in the sticks, if the word got out you shot a dog, you would be facing jail time unless you could prove that it was attacking. Or, as a Park DeerCop told me, if you shoot one of "my" bears, you better be missing an armAre you really criticizing a person for shooting a stray dog that was threatening an elderly member of their family?
Do you reckon that maybe if'n he'd just let the critter take a bite of the old bird that maybe it'd settle down and move on, real peaceable like?

It is just that I truly love the dog species and will do about anything "not" to shoot a dog,including calling Dog Control before shooting one(even if we have to stay in the house an hour or two(if that dog does not leave by my attempts). I do have rubber slugs (so, last resort/before lead-----??????????)
Sorry! (no disrespect meant)
Probably not where he lives, THANK GOD. In rural Minnesota where I grew up any stray dog was a led magnet. Wouldn't no one give you any guff for shooting one and many of us have done so. In Arizona where I've lived for 26 years now I'll shoot a dog any day I feel it necessary and not worry about the law here either. And THANK GOD while I'm at it that there's still some places in this fast falling country where I can stand to hang my hat.BlaineG wrote:I'm not familiar with other parts of the country, but around here, even in the sticks, if the word got out you shot a dog, you would be facing jail time unless you could prove that it was attacking.

In a lot of other parts of the country if your dog is loose and on some elses property and gets caught there. you would be the one facing the jail time. You are resposible for their actions.BlaineG wrote:I'm not familiar with other parts of the country, but around here, even in the sticks, if the word got out you shot a dog, you would be facing jail time unless you could prove that it was attacking.

Looks like something jammed and a piece of plastic broke off. Does it still function?
Appearances can be deceiving. I don't own a PMR-30, and Mr. Quinn likely knows more about the rest of the story than this reader.
I'll be interested to see the report.

Yep. I'd never shoot someone's pet piggie, even if it just escaped onto my property a time or two, unless somehow it was literally endangering someone's life and just had to be stopped immediately with a bullet. OTOH, a feral animal that needs eliminated I'll deal with whatever is most humane and efficient. I may not have two hours to play catch-the-feral-dog and be late for work, but I will have time to humanely deal with it otherwise.Nate Kiowa Jones wrote:On the dog issue, those of you that have never lived on a farm where your very existence can be threatened by stray dogs will never understand this concept of eradicating feral animals.
It’s no different than the feral hog problem. These wild hogs all came from domestic stock.
Agreed. Period.Friends Call Me Ji wrote:If my dog got loose and went on to private property and tried to attack someone especially a senior citizen or a child I'd shoot it myself.
Aggressive behavior towards a dog can provoke it to attack, I've seen it happen. Fortunately we don't have rabies here in the islands but that's another risk not worth taking besides the other nasty infections even a single bite can cause.
On average 5 people a year are killed by sharks, 30 by dogs.
I support Jeff's decision, just my 2 cents given out free of charge (what a deal!).
CHECK OUT THE KTOG LINKS I POSTED EARLIER. This is not a one time event and seems to be one ammo and KT seems to have fixed the problem.mohavesam wrote:I'm still wondering about the facts of the OP. I know the Quinns don't write reports on "failures" or write bad reviews on anything, but I'd like to read more detail on the PMR breakage. Hopefully Kel-Tec will update the interested owners... ?
I have one, and will tell anyone it is a fine pistol! It absolutely re-defines the "kit gun" concept and it goes canoeing and hiking everywhere.
