dog attacks

[Rastus]

how about putting a demo on your show on how to defend against a dog attack. loose aggresive dogs seem to becoming  a bigger problem in america and not every one can carry a gun.

Good idea for a show.

FOX OC will stop a dog dead in their tracks.

One of my coworkers jogs and was chased by the same dog snapping at her heels. I gave her a can and she hosed the mutt off.
Now when she jogs by the house the dog runs up on the porch and watches her go by.

It also does a pretty good job on drunks.

She had drunks nipping at her heels when she jogs too?

Man I hate that! Some of them are fast too. You just have to run a slalom and they weave off the sidewalk.

One problem I see with a spray is that it could have an effect on you if the wind were to change direction and get the agent in your eyes or mucous membranes. Then you would be dealing with tears and snot along with four legged animal with sharp teeth.

Read an article last night in one of the gun magazines I subscribe to about what size of a round to take out a canine. There was a comment in the article about how a .40 S&W round did not take the animal out and how a .45 ACP would do a better job. Find it interesting that the Governor of Texas could take a coyote out with a Ruger .380. Proof that things do not alway have to be bigger to be better in Texas. Just make sure you are a good shot!!! 

Just my two bits on here since I have been absent for a while.

A few years ago, we had three Pitbulls in a livestock pen on a killing spree. I killed all three with a S&W Mod. 36 loaded with 125 gr. Silvertips. One shot each.

Last year, my family and I were out walking the block (1.1 miles) in our rural neighborhood. At one house, a pit bull and a blue heeler came out and tried to attack our dog (Black Mouth Cur) while he was on a leash. I smacked the Pit in the face with the walking stick I carried, and he took off running with the other dog kiyi-ing right along behind them. The bonehead owner just stood there watching the whole time saying/doing nothing.

To hit a dog and keep him from dodging the blow, swing in a horizontal manner once he is close or charging. He can't avoid the impact as easily.

My sister and neice had the same problem in their neighborhood. I gave them some polished walking staffs, and they seem to do the trick, as the dogs stay away now.

Squirt gun filled with ammonia works well, too. Ask any old motorcycle rider.

Since I don't drive and live in a low crime area, dogs are the most likely threat I face.
I refer to my Kel Tec as "The Puppy popper" since I expect if I use it, it will be with my right hand while Fido dangles off the left arm I'll feed him/ her.
