Well, it was the Saturday before Easter when I decided to get the egg hunting out of the way. I went into the front yard and hid the eggs for my daughters age 2 and 4. Basically that means put them in plain sight. After the kids had found all the eggs, they wanted to do the hiding for each other. This kept them occupied as I took a breather on the front porch. I then noticed several 'dusty ol crows' as my daughter calls them trying to swoop down and get the eggs off of the ground. I thought this proved to be sweet pickins for the new EMAG so I ran inside to get it, since my gear bag was just inside the door.
Now all you animal rights folks pipe down, it is legal to shoot crows and blackbirds year-round, any way you'll see.
So there I sat just waiting for a chance to pop a crow, and what do you know, they don't come anywhere near our yard after I'm sitting out there with the EMAG in hand. The kids continue to play with the eggs in our yard which is fenced in except for the driveway, when a cat hauls booty down the street being chased by a boxer, I chuckle at the sight actually hoping that the cat gets it, since there are too many roaming our neighborhood because of irresponsible owners. Not too long later, the boxer has given up the chase of the cat and heads back up the street, straight into my driveway while my 2 daughters are picking up eggs in the grass. As soon as it crosses the property line I notice it is foaming at the mouth, and in the blink of an eye, I jump out of my chair and rip off 2 shots and yell GET OUT'A HERE at the top of my lungs. The dog tucked tail and ran off soon to nabbed by its owners. All family members safe and sound.
I waited untill it crossed into my yard because this is Kalifornia, a sue crazy state, and in the end the owners were outside trying to catch the dog.
My shots were in front of the dog as to impede its path and would not have been targeted at the dog its self untill it hit the grass which lead to where the girls were playing. Then it would have had more to worry about than paintballs.
I guess I should thank God for sending the 'dusty ol crows' in the firstplace which caused me to get my EMAG out, and thank Tunaman and AGD for a marker that rips.
