Thanks Joe. Always sad when someone loses their pet, but scary to one possibly being attacked. I agree that Mace or Pepper Spray would be a better alternative for all.
Agreed, however, this is possibly in an “urban” type setting. It’s possible this man packs in case he runs into HUMAN troublemakers. Not saying they couldn’t do with just mace also, but humans might keep “going for it” and need to be shot through.
I’m sure someone will suggest he wear several types of weapons and be well-adapted to grabbing all of them as appropriate.
