Dear Gun Fondlers:
The law allows you to own guns. The law does not come from a gun.
For your sake and ours, keep those facts in mind.

Jack Yantis, the bull’s owner, arrived with a rifle
Basic citizenship: If you approach police aggressively while brandishing a firearm, you may die. Just sayin’.

How did the bull get on the road to begin with? A break in the fence? And what is the responsibility of the owner to keep his animals of public byways? With the limited information in this article not withstanding, it appears the deputies decided to put the bull down and the owner objected most strenuously. Wonder if this is a Clive Bundy hangover? He should have waited for the Oathkeepers to come to his defense.

There was an altercation
The entire story buried in four words.

it is better to leave the rifle in the truck until the police are told about it and say OK. Cops get all antsy when someone shows up during an emergency with a gun. The story doesn’t say what caused the police to redirect their aim from the bull to the rancher. Another day, another irreversible firearm incident.
Condolences to family and friends.

See? Guns don’t kill people. Bulls kill people. Let’s see if all these tough gun types support their local police the way they keep crowing about, or if Glenn Beck will try to turn this into another Ruby Ridge.

Yeah, I mean the rancher sounded like a thug.

Lots of places out West where public roads traverse open range and cow v. car accidents are not uncommon. Pretty sure they don’t normally end in shoot-outs, though.

The rancher’s wife, Donna Yantis, reportedly suffered a heart attack immediately after the incident.

It sounds to me like another hayseed Tea drinker has tragically found the lapse between their TP-fed 2nd Amendment fetish, and reality.

That is the saddest aspect of this story,besides the bull’s injury and the trauma to the Police involved.

It’s neither bizarre nor a tragedy when some more scumbag cops kill people. It is a both expected and commonplace. The tragedy ended many years ago.
OK, maybe someone who speaks NRA can tell me … were the cops the good guys with the gun, or was the owner of the bull the good guy with the gun?

Hahahahah! You are seriously concerned about those stupid murdering cops? Or should I be saluting your trolling skillz?
Well, the rancher was probably trying to save the bull. I don’t know if this was a open range situation or not but he would’ve been liable for the accident if his livestock were outside of a fence.
My high school history teacher’s wife was killed when they hit a horse on the road and it came through the windshield.
