Way to go Woody!  Good thinking.

never mind shooting dogs in self sefense

i saw this one around town and spot and stalked him to a creek where we had a staring contest and he lunged at me but i stabbed him with my swiss army knife.

The end result:

Sad story, As I have posted I have been attacked by dogs, and had to stab one to protect my throat and face. Only had my Kershaw at the time, and was thankful to have it. Wish it was my M+P, or even my Kel-Tec. but rogue pack dogs, lose all domestic tendencies.

Even "pets" in a pack situation can turn vicious.

Tragic they both were killed. The "brief" but ever so slow time that I was attacked, would be a horrible way to die.

Damn jackel,...You got Cujo with a Swiss Army Knife!!!!

Hey, I thought that was a SAD movie and Book, My sympathy was with the dog     Actually was not in SK's usual style as there were no "weird" aspects to it. A little over the top, but generally just "Ol Yeller" retold, family dog gets rabies, and kills a bunch of people.
No weird stuff like "Tommyknockers" or "The Stand "

That's the bad thing about dogs that have been domesticated and then dumped in the wild. They have no real fear of humans like coyotes & wolves and will attack humans much more often because of it.

It happened to my first CHL instructor. He said he was out working with his cattle about 50 yards from the truck. He was 78 years old out there by himself. Said there was a pack of wild dogs that had come up out of the tree line. When the lead dog started charging, he was able to get a derringer out of his boot and drop him. This stopped the other dogs long enough for him to haul ass back to the truck for his rifle.

Hopefully he used the rifle FROM the truck. No sense in getting rabies. A friend had to get those shots (from a skunk) and they are a bitch.

Knowing that crazy old fart, he probably massacred all of them and went in close to the downed dogs and made sure they weren't getting back up.

He was a good guy, he died recently.... not much before I needed to renew my CHL which sucked. Really liked him. Spent more time sitting there shootin the bull then talking about laws, but he knew I knew what the law was. I scored 100% on ALL tests.

I think they are the MOST dangerous.

I went the the ATM machine this morning and there are 6 ft high bushes next to it. Some joker comes out from the bushes toward me and I pulled my 3 1/2 "Gerber out and starting cleaning my finger nails. He turned right around and walked off.

That is a mugging (or worse) just waiting to happen.  Please report this incident to whoever runs the ATM and the bank it belongs to.  The next person might not be as capable of defending themselves.

I'm much more worried about the 4 legged criters, then the 2 legged ones.

for the most part I always have some type of striking weapon on me or with in arms reach.   the 2 legged ones know that its going to ruin thier day to come after me.  The 4 legged don't. 

frome exp a 6' hickory extention handle will kill a 60-75 lb dog in one hit to the top of the head.
