Quite possibly so. I had an incident about a week ago when I did not even remove my revolver from the glove compartment and achieved an excellent outcome. It was about 7:00 p.m. and I went to the local PetCo to get a bag of dog food for my two LARGE dogs, the smaller of whom is an 85 lb. Pitador and the larger of whom is a 110 lb. Great Dane. The Pitador was in the front seat beside me and the Dane was in the back seat. Just as I parked, I noticed a very grubby, old, unoccupied car to my left and, far worse, an almost equally grubby one to my right that was occupied by four guys who looked liked they just got out of the county jail and were up to no good, none of whom was Amish. Not wanting to display my revolver and escalate the situation, but very much wanting to send them a message not to fool with me or my vehicle, I rolled the front passenger side window down to display the Pitador. Then I rolled the tinted right rear window down to show them the Dane. They immediately left the scene. No cops, no gun use, no problem. Nevertheless, the revolver was there if I’d really needed it. Once a bullet leaves the muzzle it can’t be recalled.
There is a young woman here in my town that owns a Great Dane and I see her walking it around town. The dog, if it were to stand up, could lick the top of her head without any problem.
What a truly magnificent beast... it’s a shame they are so short-lived.
