" All 5 lunging at the fence,Razin’ Hell,all afternoon,,,

Hard to work lookin’ over your shoulder,,,

I wear a vest with the Colt in right pocket and 4 mags in

the left,,,balances the load,,,12ga. just inside the door."

You have every good right to be ready to defend against those mis-bred monsters, given that you've covered the legal considerations and scenario possibilities (possible owners' illegal reactions) for your area.

Open carry should be (but is not) respected wherever particularly dangerous animals are present and threatening, IMO, and could possibly get out (see owners bragging about how high their pit bulls can jump). The presence of such dangerous animals is "brandishing," IMO, and should be punishable for owners as such. See how much they enjoy putting fear into their neighbors, after they have more extensive criminal records for their criminal behaviors.

If firearms are ever outlawed, BTW, I'll advocate the carrying of splitting mauls around dangerous beasts (and chain saws for good smaller and older folks). ;-)

These pits are in-bred(son to mother,brother to sister),,,

I fed 3 of them milk-bones through the fence when they were little bitty puppies,,,gave them water too,,, Still they lunge at the fence when we go outside,,, Louisiana is an open carry state and on your own land you

don't need a CCW permit,,,

Months ago I had a long “heart to heart” with the day-side

Captain,,,Nam vet just like me,,,little younger,,,(at HQ),,,

“You gotta do what you gotta do to protect yourself.”

“Be careful.”,,,”Keep your fire low.”,,,”Call us.”,,,

His words,in that order,,,

The problem is that the jerk/thug can keep the pups in the

house and get around city code of 4 “grown” outside over

1 yo,,,

Time will tell,,,I got the Capt's cell # on my speed-dial...
