I hope the guy and his dog will be o.k. Be careful out there, as this can happen anywhere. I don’t understand not carrying while out walking.

That's why I keep a S&W 36 in my pocket at all times. Yep. Even if I step off the back porch to piss at night, my Ruger LCP 380 is in my pocket. I don't go anywhere that I don't have at least a Ruger LCR with Hornady Critical Defense ammo in it.

What's the best cartridge/load combination for a pit bull? After eliminating anywhere from 4 to 10 a year for over 30 years I recommend any good deer bullet from 62 grain up from .223 up and 2500 fps up applied behind the front leg.

A black amishman who raises fighting dogs.
I am never surprised anymore, though this one is odd.

Old lady across the field has 2 pits. I wounded a coyote in the field and those 2 pits finished it off. It was brutal. They tried to attack me on my 4 wheeler one day. I out ran them and went home and loaded the smith 360pd with 125 hp 357s and took another ride down the same road. Lucky for them they weren't there anymore.
Their names are scooby and dooby and they've been in my yard a few times but not long enough for me to get a gun. Our neighborhood is filling in really quick so shooting is likely frowned on now but most of the neighbors don't like the pits running free either.
Scooby already bit one neighbor while she was jogging but the old lady keeps saying they would never hurt anyone. I need a suppressor for my kimber Adirondac in 300 BO just in case they get back onto my yard.

Bb, I don't blame you for a moment. Some dogs just need to be put down. You might save someone from going through a horrible experience.

What's the best cartridge/load combination for a pit bull? I know for a fact that a standard 5.56 AR will work. Details requested...How many rounds did you let loose? What was your target area?...Head, heart, behind the shoulder or did you go with a Swiss Cheese look? 😬😎

Sounds like high shoulder shots work....Mr. Hasting, how did you find yourself airing out 4-10 Pits a year? SWAT Cop hitting drug houses would probably have that amount of contact with PB. 😎

when I was in my early twenties had friends who had both, they fought them and bet on it to settle the argument about which would win. the rotts had the advantage early on but tired much quicker than the pits, couldn't outlast them. if the rotts had got a good hold early it could have gone the other way. Only an evil idiot would have their dogs fight for any reason.

They're called Rottweilers. Just let go of the leash and watch them do what they do. Wanna consistently stop a Pit Bull using another dog? Better think in the neighborhood of a Kurdish Kangal, Anitolian Shepherd, Caucasian Ovcharka etc. Very large flock guardians would be the way to go. Great advice, if a bunch of people start buying Rottweilers and Caucasian Ovcharkas and Turkish Kangals to protect them from pitbulls then we'll have an outbreak of Rottweiler and Caucasian Ovcharka and Turkish Kangal maulings. Stick to the smaller and less harmless breeds and leave large dogs to those who require them, like the police. If you aren't a first responder and don't need to herd livestock you can probably don't need anything more than a Yorkie or Cocker Spaniel. What a nice dog. I'm sure people will be a lot safer with a ton of these around.

Careful! Could say the same thing about guns.
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

They are still bred for a purpose.
