You need one of these to put down a 60# dog.
And this as a backup.

Glock model 29.
It’s a little chunky, but it is concealable if you try.
Mine is OD green with accessory rail.
No comment, but I sure want to.
If you have the lead time the open mouth is not bad. At any angle it causes further damage.
Something that starts with a 4 helps.

What is that? The gunners look American, the piece looks towed (split trail at bottom right?). Would it be a towed 155? My experience is limited to towed 105mm, SP 203mm and SP 155s in my old FLANG FA brigade.
Quote “I have talked to people from Utah who carry their guns while running... they use the gun to kill rattlesnakes.
The weight of the gun also adds to the workout value.”
LOL!! Maybe I should start running with my M1 Garrand!! Good post. Well it was done during WWII so I guess you have a very good point.
Well Mr. Erickson, I really hope the not pressing charges thing works out for you. I don't think it will.
I'd be willing to bet that very shortly you will be on the receiving end of a suit for vet bills, emotional trauma, etc., etc., etc.
You were put in a c**py position, and theres no way to make it smell better by being nice after the fact.
You should have finished the dog, filed charges, and sued for your medical bills, distress, etc.
No good deed goes unpunished.
> So, where should I aim, if faced with an attacking Pit Bull dog?
Center-of-mass, with a flame-thrower.
One alternative would be a law that Pit Bulls can only be bred to Poodles or Wiener Dogs. Given time you would have a non feral breed.
That’s what I was thinking. Thank for for confirming.
Also what I was thinking. Thank you.
A 9x19mm has more than enough power to penetrate the toughest dog's skull, the bullet must have missed his brain. My grandfather used to slaughter 600 lb steers with a .22 rifle by shooting them between the eyes. They always fell instantly like a ton of bricks after one shot, kicked a few times and that was it.
Even a .44 magnum won't kill an animal instantly unless it hits a vital organ like the brain or heart, but it does seem odd that this dog survived a close range head shot unless it just grazed his skull.
Right, same here. A neighbor out here in the country where I live bought a pair of Rottweilers a few years ago who attacked a power company crew and later kept a lineman "treed" on a power pole all one afternoon. That's when I started carrying a .357 revolver when my wife and I took our daily walk instead of the .22 pistol I had carried before to deal with copperheads or rattlers.
We don't walk on that road anymore, but if I did I would carry my 870 Remington loaded with 5 rounds of buckshot. I figure I could hit a charging dog with a 15-20" buckshot pattern much easier than I could with any handgun, and even though the pellets wouldn't be as effective as a .357 Hydroshok several of them in the head and upper body would probably put a dog down.
Cobra, what do you need to put down a lynx?
A good sense of humor?
I meant this lynx.
Another entry for the Dog of Peace files...
Sure, but for most of us suburbanites, an 870 is sort of out of the question for carry!
L.O.L. Gotta love it!
Seriously, what kind of dog owner doesn't maintain his fence to contain his dangerous dog, obtains a replacement dog without mending his fence, decides to spend upwards from $4k to keep the dangerous dog alive, etc. There must be much more to this story.
What kind of community wouldn't insist the dog be put down, and any replacement dog of the same breed confiscated, and the owner fined, and/or jailed, for maintaining an "attractive nuisance."
Drug dealer? Fighting dog breeder?
