I carry when I run/walk in my neighborhood. I won’t arbitrarily shoot a dog 9I love animals), but I won’t let one chew on me either. A big one that is menacing (I know the difference between ready to bite and just making noise - most of the time) won’t be allowed within 10 feet or so if I thinks it’s coming for me. A little one would more likely get a kick first and then be taken out if it kept coming back. If a person cannot control their animal so others don’t have to be concerned, the person doesn’t need that animal and should find it a better home/environment.
If I were dictator I would outlaw dogs in the city. Its just not fair to the dogs.
