On January 25, 2015, Joseph Potts of Harris County, Texas went to the Bay Area Dog Park and emptied three (3) rounds from his handgun into another family's pet, a 2-year-old Staffordshire Terrier named Diesel. Diesel was at the dog park to run and play like all the other dogs who were there with their families that day. According to eye witness accounts, Mr. Potts took issue with the fact that Diesel was trying to play with his dog and was observed kicking him to keep him away from his dog. When the dogs re-initiated their play, Mr. Potts took out his handgun and fired once striking Diesel. That was not enough for him however, as he took aim again and fired two more shots into an animal he had already rendered defenseless. Sadly, Diesel passed away from his injuries. Witnesses consistently dispute Mr. Potts' assertion that he had to shoot the dog THREE times out of fear for his safety and claim the dog was showing no signs of aggression. The case is currently being investigated by the HCSO. In reviewing Government Code 411.172 on Eligibility, subsection (a)7 stands out in particular with respect to this case. It states: "A person is eligible for a license to carry a concealed handgun IF the person is NOT INcapable of exercising sound judgement with respect to the PROPER USE and storage of a handgun." I would submit that anyone who feels compelled to carry a handgun into a public dog park filled with families, children and other pets, and intentionally and recklessly discharges that weapon into someone else's pet because he is incapable of cool reflection before shooting something, is clearly incapable of exercising sound judgement with respect to the proper use of a handgun. Mr. Potts could have killed someone that day and his lack of control and engaging in deadly conduct in a public park filled with people, makes him a danger to society. His eligibility to have a CHL needs to be re-evaluated.
