Hey Southwind...if your neighborhood is one where your neighbors wouldn't call the police after hearing a gunshot, you might want to move.
I know this is simplistic, but bad guy wants to break into house. Dog barks at bad guy. Dog barking alerts homeowner that something is amiss. Bad guy doesn't know if it's me...gun free Joe....or if it's you and your Uzi who will come to investigate. So in most cases, that dog barking will send him packing. Or, that's the way it seems to have worked in the past. I wish the news coverage of these home invasions would mention if the dog was shot first, but they don't ever seem to mention that. But If the barking dog doesn't deter the bad guy and the bad guy shoots the dog, the the neighbors on either side of me and across the street and behind me are likely to call the police or investigate for themselves why guns were being shot in a suburban neighborhood.
But let's assume that nobody will notice that barking dog, gunshot and suddenly quiet dog. Well...then in that case I guess I'm toast.
Look, Todo, we're not in Kansas City anymore
Your whole concept relies on the theory that the dumber-than-the-average criminal doesn't know if you are a peace-nik or an uzi firining fanatic. Yet in your world the answer is easy. Shoot the dog because there are no guns in the house of the liberal!
Sure a barking dog and a gun shot would make many calls to 911. Moral of the story: your neighbors are alive and well and you and your dog are dead meat. By the time the cops get there, the crook nwould have even fixed himself something to eat before he successfully gets away
