    it is obvious all this sniper detection, gun/ammo sniffing dogs etc, WILL be used against US when martial law and gun confiscation occur. Sad, that this technology will likely be used against us. I for one, am NOT celebrating at these advances of “technology.”

    The state of CA will be buying these dogs if they get all of their ammunition bans pushed through!

    Cute dog, and a useful idea… from some perspectives.

    From other perspectives, it seems like something that could be interestingly… abused.

    We use mine sniffing dogs in Afghanistan to great effect. They can sniff out UXO and ammo too, since all they’re smelling for is explosive compounds. I felt more than confident walking through a freshly cleared field if I looked down and saw little doggy paw prints.

    If its a sturdy enough dog you could train it to pull the handle on a reloading press too…
