What to do when a pit bull attacks

FReepmail Chet 99, of course! :-)
Pits are dangerous--someone might have to do that on your behalf.
Keep firing until the clip is empty, of course.
I would just shoot it with my .45.
The dog weights about 60 pounds. Pick it up, snap its neck, find the owner and repeat.
BLAM!
They left off Plan A: Shoot to kill
A head shot with a 9mm has been shown to be helpful.
In an ideal world you would: Pull out your carry piece and shoot the thing until it stops moving. Reload and shoot the owner.
pull out your CCW and shoot the thing in the head and then hope the owner attacks you in an emotional rage after seeing his dog shot dead... so you can put him down too.
you and I think alike.
Assume a confident bearing and confront it. Show no fear.
My area is swarming with these dogs, and the indigents that buy and breed them.
I can see both sides of this argument: Lhasa Apso’s are nasty as h3ll, right out of the box. Staffordshires and American bulls are sweet animals, very protective and also very intune with alpha conflicts with their owners and families. They are great animals for the decent american family to have.
That said, in my area the “decent american family” aren’t the ones who have them. The drug dealers, their girlfriends, and plain-old dyed-in-the-wool street thugs have them. They are trained to attack, they are trained to be aggressive, and they are status symbols.
Sorry Charlie - When I see someone walking one (Usually wearing FUBU and very white sneakers) I prepare.
On the other hand, there is a pleasant couple in my neighborhood that own two Sharpeis. The Shar Pei is bred as a fighting dog. Their specimens are beautiful - And WOW muscular. You can strike a match on these dog’s shoulder muscles. They had some issues with my ex-roommate’s mixed dog when he got out one day. It was a scary moment. The Sharpeis maintained a defensive position around their masters, but also responded to only voice commands from them to back down, settle down and sit.
Well if you have no weapons and you are strong you could do what a relative of mine did, he stuck his arm clear down the dog’s throat, he needed several stitches on his arm, but the dog died of suffocation after few minutes of him forcibly feeding it his arm, he said the dog was trying to throw up his arm, but he kept pushing into the dog unt5il the dog stopped moving. He was wearing something with sleeves, a work overall I think, not sure how this would work without wearing sleeves, if the dog would take your arm off or not.
The breed gets a bad rap from sensationalism and fear.
I got hate mail here last time I said this breed should be EXTERMINATED and I stand by it AGAIN. Tigers are “cats” but you wouldn’t let your children play with one.
At a MINIMUM, a permit should be required to own a Pitt Bull just as is required to own a Tiger and only in certain areas.
There should be concern about ANY breed which owners take to the shelter because they themselves become fearful of them.
Case closed, NO ARGUMENT. PERIOD.
