Pit bulls are one of the reasons I’m getting my ccw. If one bites me or my lab puppy, I will blow its head off.

A thing about shooting feral dogs.. and pitbulls.
A dog doesn’t understand the concept of “BANG”. When a person is shot, their minds process the event as “I’ve been shot”. Dogs and other wildlife do not understand what the bang means, and if they are charging you they don’t care either. So when you shoot a charging animal you’ll find that you aren’t stopping it.
A dog is designed for forward motion. Every muscle in it’s body is designed to move forward. That means that the charging animal is going to take more, per mass, than any other creature (Man) to take down. So while a man will stop charging when hit by a .22 an Animal won’t stop until you choose a round so large that it actually disrupts muscle groups. In other words, the animal will need to have large chunks of muscle removed from it’s skeleton in order to stop it from charging.
If you live in an area with feral packs, your challenges have only begun. It’s why I paid $1200 for an FN Five-seveN. Living in CT (A sh!thole country) I was surrounded by packs of feral pitbulls. Dogs don’t care about watching another dog getting shot, and during a charge or hunt they don’t care about the bang either.
My experience comes from one of these encounters with a 9mm Glock. A standard capacity mag was enough to get 2 dogs held back while I ran. There were more than 10 and I wound up getting bit quite a bit while getting into someone’s porch for protection. It was scary, but I learned a lot.
When I’m nature walking I’m carrying a large bowie (Large enough that I can use) and a large caliber pistol round with some real muscle-shredding power. I also carry a lot of rounds now.
Good luck with your CCW And if you want to hear more experiences and advice, hit me up.
Same thing here. That’s one of the many reasons I strap my .38 to my bike when I ride. The three mile stretch of my road has four Pitbulls that run loose. There a numerous other big dogs on that stretch that like to chase me too. There are GSD’s, bulldogs, boxers, and about 20 more. I can outride most of them unless I hit a hill. My husband finally made me stop riding my road because of all the Pits. Now I ride the MTB on trails but still pack my .38 and have the GoPro on the handlebars. My road bike just sits in the garage most of the time because of all the Pits running loose. My county has a leash law but it’s not enforced.
Considering all of the facts here, yours is right up there with the most ignorant statements I’ve ever read on FR, if not the most. You know little about animals and apparently less about laws governing the discharging of weapons in public.
Get it together.
