So he was just carrying a Winchester rifle and revolver with him, yeah right.

You don't need an excuse to carry registered firearms on your own property.

As I understand it (awaits input from resident truck driver) the fact he retreated from the confrontation to avoid violence and they came after him putting him in fear of his life , he was within his rights to defend himself upto and including lethal force.

I'm with the landowner to be honest. They went looking for trouble and got it.

Yeah, I thought initially maybe a bit extreme to execute the dog and maybe that heightened tensions,

but then if you look objectively , he wouldn't have had to do anything if they just respected people's property and didn't intrude. And think it was a recurring issue.

I'd have to read back the facts of the case again but iirc he said he was fearful the dog was going to go after livestock.

I wouldn't in a million years take a dog onto someone else's property without permission. Especially a working farm.You're asking for trouble.

You don't get a license to shoot people dead though.

It isn't. There is no right to own firearms in Ireland.

 

[Matlock]

What article of the constitution do you think gives you the right to bear arms?
