> Pit Bulls = Killers. <
Yep. Sure, the attitude of the owner plays a part. But at root, it’s a DNA thing. You can no more blame the dog than you can blame an anthrax bacterium. Nevertheless, neither belongs among humans.
If I lived near a guy who owned a pit bull, I’d spend zero time figuring out how to befriend the dog. Instead I’d be thinking about the minimum caliber needed if I were attacked.
My theory of a specialized handgun for big vicious dog (E.G.) American XL Bully, etc, defense in the absence of a shotgun, would be a smallish .44 special revolver loaded with custom shot loads containing number 4 or 2 shot, plated of course, traveling at... Whatever velocity.
To be carried discreetly when out walking the dog in the neighborhood.
Haven’t procured it yet though. The .38 special equivalent will have to do until one finds a bargain on a .44 somewhere...

Totally AGREE.
I have that situation down the street. I always carry now walking in the neighborhood.
