Not sure how it is in Lincoln, but here in Omaha I've always found it ironic that the neighborhoods who are often complaining about police oppression and brutality are the same neighborhoods that send representatives to cityhall meetings to demand a greater "police presence" when their kids start shooting each other.  ::)

So update on this one. I never ended up speaking with the owner, haven't seen her out since, but talked to two of the neighbors. I guess that morning the dog must have been extra limber because normally it suffers from some pretty bad old-big-dog arthritis in the hips. I'm sure that is why the lady didn't think that it may have been a threat at all to let it out. Either way, I have walked that route several times again and have yet to see the dog. I haven't bought pepper spray, but I just got a Cabela's gift card in the mail and I plan on picking up a can soon! I'm carrying more frequently now... I know, I know... it's not 100%, but I'm still getting myself and my wife used to it. I was relieved when we went on a date in Omaha the other night for her birthday and not a single place restricted concealed carry so there weren't any trips back to the car!

As for the discussion about not making cops feel welcome I would disagree on some points and agree on others. I don't think that I should make them feel as if I NEED them to protect me and make me safe, I should be able to do that on my own with the right to self defense... However, when my son was just a few months old he got sick and had breathing troubles and started to turn blue-ish on me at 2AM. The local small town cop, with first responder training, arrived in literally less than 40 seconds after I heard the dispatcher call it in (he must've been close by on his rounds). I had taken lots of first aid and cpr classes, but in the middle of the night as that was going down I felt so utterly paralyzed that I can't even describe it. I couldn't have been more thankful for the help he provided until the volunteer EMT crew showed up and transported him to the hospital. He is more than welcome in my neighborhood!
