Pittbulls kill 2 year old and 5 month old

[TripleThreat]

Two young children are dead and their mother suffered major injuries after two family dogs attacked a baby and toddler outside their West Tennessee home.Kirstie Bennard, 30, suffered critical injuries when she tried to intervene in the attack on her 5-month-old boy, Hollace Dean, and 2-year-old girl, Lilly Jane, family and police said.

"She put her body on top of Lilly’s to try and protect her after the attack started," Bennard's uncle by marriage, Jeff Gibson told USA TODAY on Saturday. "Both (dogs) started attacking her while she lay on Lilly."The two children were pronounced dead when officials arrived at the home, the sheriff's office reported.

It was not immediately known what provoked the mauling.The mauling, Gibson said, lasted about 10 minutes.The dogs – two pit bulls that belonged to the family – were euthanized at Memphis Animal Services Thursday.

The family owned the pets, Cheech and Mia, for more than eight years without a violent incident, Kelsey Canfield, the mother's best friend, told Fox News.

"I can promise you those children were her world, and if there was any inkling of danger, she would have never had those dogs near her kids," Canfield told the outlet. "Those children were everything to them, and they just have a really long journey ahead."

How do you feel about PittBull's? I posted this because my wife shared this story with me and my son was just recently participating in a "read to sheltered dogs" event where you could adopt a dog (I know brilliant).

I've heard the arguments that PittBull's get a bad wrap, but it seems time and time again they are the focal point of dogs who do these horrible acts.

If you're serious about this, do yourself a favor before you waste your money - find a local range that has firearm rentals and actually test fire some different guns.

Absolutely no way I'm messing with a hammer, and in that event I want a trigger I actually have to work to pull lest I accidentally shoot my own dog.

I think that will be plenty with some of these.

just get the Colt Buntline Longhorn Special and be done with it.

It's a revolver, a .45, and looks like a cowboy gun - it's all he wants it for.

Why even ask for advice if you're going to disregard all the good advice? Sure, it's a gun. It will kill whatever is attacking you. But there's much better options than $400 snub nose revolver made in brazil.

Why put a .22 into this neighborhood yapper when he could reduce it to atoms?

if i wanted one of those i'd just bring the one i have

that sort of gun is not practical when you're out walking

A gun specifically meant for concealed carry, that's probably the most popular concealed carry gun in the USA isn't practical for concealed carry.

Ok then.

Seriously. I was a range officer and firearms instructor, have received training from some of the best instructors in the country, have fired dozens of different defensive handguns, have been shooting in general for over 50 years, and am an expert pistol shooter.

But what do I know?
