Let’s review basic firearms safety. This sniper violated 2 of the 4 rules of gun safety (read linked article for details).

1. Keep your finger off the trigger until you have made the decision to fire.
2. Positively identify your target, and what lies beyond.

The other 2 rules are:

3. Don’t point your muzzle at anything you do not intend to destroy
4. Every gun is loaded unless you personally verify otherwise.

The study, involving hundreds of people, found benefits for mental health of being able to see birds, shrubs and trees around the home, whether people lived in urban or more leafy suburban neighbourhoods.

Dogs, pit bull

01-leo_a34692000_60

Me with Leo the pit bull at the Yavapai Humane Society. The vast majority of pit bulls I’ve handled at YHS have been nice dogs. Many are very strong and some hard to control on a leash, but that’s called lack of training. Leo here was well behaved, I like him.
YHS got a bunch of small dogs from Maricopa County, small dogs adopt out fast here. Shelters regularly swap dogs that are there a long time, and transfers like the incoming small dogs are very common. While I was there 2 potential adopters looked at small dogs.
