“Dog parks are just not smart. Anything can happen with loose animals.”

Absolutely. I’d never take a dog to a dog park, and it has less to do with the animals than with the owners that either won’t or don’t train or discipline them, as well as the ones that think it’s great their dog is a macho bully. As for this incident, the animal control officer should have recognized that the proper technique for separating fighting dogs was being followed and he should not have interfered with the owner, but rather grabbed his “puppy’s” back legs and done the same. The man is unqualified for his job, and by such a misuse of a firearm is unqualified to concealed carry.

Bingo.

It is not mace, it is pepper spray.
Not everyone can have a gun, everyone can (and should) legally have Pepper spray.

It is cheap and has a higher rate of stopping attacks than firearms do.
