Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- “Unprepared, and apparently proud of it!”
When a coyote attacked a young girl recently on a childrens’ playground in snobby, affluent, gun-free Westchester County, located northwest of NYC, all adults present were of course, weaponless and otherwise unprepared, including an off-duty police officer who was NOT carrying concealed.
The unarmed, off duty-officer physically wrestled with the coyote on the ground for five minutes, getting bitten more than once, until armed police officers finally arrived and shot the animal.
This county has dealt with a recent flood of aggressive coyote complaints. The animals there are assertive, and why not? The more they are around humans, and nothing negative happens to them, the more they’re going to regard people, particularly small ones, as lunch.
Liberals’ predictable visceral aversion to firearms, and to hunting, makes their gun-free, upscale suburb an ideal place for coyotes to take-up residence. Lots of dogs, cats, children, etc available to eat- all of them slow, fat, naif, soft, and tasty.
And, virtually no risk.
The dead coyote in question was a well-developed, well-fed, healthy, large adult, with a lush fur coat. Later the animal was determined to be rabid.
Once again, liberals believe that “moral superiority” ever attaches to personal unpreparedness and willing victimhood
When they find themselves dupes of their own naivety, they predictably bleat, “This is so unfair!”
Usually their “famous last words!”

I got to this site because I was trying to figure out whether it is legal to kill a coyote in Yorktown, Westchester county that is creating problems on my property. Any info is appreciated.
BTW I am likely to side with you but I am surprised with how you guys talk.
Do you guys go around calling your neighbors libtards to their faces. Then why do it on a bulletin board.
What I don’t understand is why that little girl and her friends weren’t carrying. These Libtard socialists who don’t understand that even a six year old can learn how to shoot–and should, because her weak-kneed liberal schoolteacher won’t carry a gun to protect her against ISIS could take care of themselves if we just let ’em.
Democrats are as useful as that dead coyote. In fact JOHN MCCAIN is in that category also.
We had 9 outside cats……now we have 6. I`ve seen them at nite at the cats food dish. I can`t shoot them there because it`s been in line w/my shop. But, I always carry at home, and a rifle just inside door of house and shop. I`ll get my shot sometime. In the meantime, I do get a kick out of hearing them at nite. They seem to have a territory, like the hoot owls. They seem to know when the field mice population and rabbits increase. The pack travels around, roughly 2 sq. mi..Same w/ the owls. My biggest… Read more »
We live here in Wyoming, and we know just how to deal with coyotes. If they’re minding their own business out on the plains, I leave them to their own devices, but if they are “danger close” to any of my family or my self, and a simple loud verbal command is ignored, I move toward them in a threatening manner, and they usually leave in a hurry! (I’m 6’2″ and 270 lbs) But if they do not run, they die! Our Wyoming coyotes are usually smart enough to leave well enough alone.
Im a westchester resident, a father, husband, I have a clean record, Im a home owner, held the same job for 20+ years, certified NRA pistol instructor and RSO, countless certifications from accredited firearms training companies, yet the anti gun judges refuse to issue me an unrestricted carry permit.
The county forces law abiding citizens to be defenseless out in public. They only issue carry permits with restrictions on where you can carry.
Some were probably armed, but they feared arrest by the police who are just waiting with their hooks to gig the hero for the the praise of the Left appointed department heads (Commissioner and Chief of Department), as well as the Left politicians who have taken away the 2nd. Amendment and continue to violate the 10th. Amendment.
The stupid elite libs where I live start complaining that someone is stealing their dogs and cats when they don’t come home. The Game and Fish come and set out traps in their affluent neighborhood and catch 6-7 song dogs a night. These city dwellers are shocked to find out that fluffy was eaten.
More wisdom from a Blue Utopia. I travel to California to teach NRA and Hunter Ed classes on a monthly basis. Up in the High Desert there are lots of coyotes and increasing numbers of bobcats and cougars. It is not unusual to see a pack of coyotes at a local dog park scoping out potential meals. Folks there are oblivious to the danger and are even more oblivious to the advice from experienced outdoors folks like me. The thought of carrying a firearm is so foreign to most that they recoil at the idea. Stupid is as stupid does.
Wait, they all should have just called 911. Isn’t that what the sheeple do?
