You would rather be attacked by a dangerous dog than carry a gun? You really need to re think that. Until you get some practice with your gun you could carry a can of wasp spray and you can blind them when they are still 20 feet away.

Wanna go to the range with me and see how well I shoot?
Nevermind, just keep your advice and take a friggin’ hike, pal.
