I had posted a thread in the revolvers forum about something I was considering as a defense against bad dogs. My idea didn't go over well. Cool. I appreciate the feedback.
I still have a question, though.
Suppose that during a day I visit properties that might have bad dogs living either next door, or nearby.
What's the best means to defend myself against a dog attack? This is serious. These are the rules:
No dog sprays, etc. I can't guarantee which way the wind's going to be blowing.
No long guns.
I'd really not rather sacrifice my left arm so I can disembowel dog number one with the knife I would hope to have in my right hand. Besides, how does that account for dog number two?
I'm open to all suggestions, but that seems to narrow it down to a concealed handgun, which presents another problem:
NO CIRCUS SHOTS. IOW, I can't assume that I can hit a fast-moving dog with a bullet, especially if he comes at me with little, or no warning. Hence my previous question about a particular piece loaded with shot.
Anyway, same question here:
I'm out working, minding my own business, carrying tools around running machinery, etc, and the two pit bulls on the property to the south find a way thru the fence and decide that I'm lunch.
What to do, and how to be prepared for this particular threat?
Comments invited again.
TIA
