I just got a call from a good friend, he and his dog were attacked by a pit bull today. He was taken by ambulance to a major trauma center here, bypassing two other hospitals. He said he's OK but feels like there is some serious damage to his one arm, at a minimum. He may have been in shock when he called.
His son has taken the dog to an emergency vet. The dog was in tough shape and was just spayed this past week.
He asked me to give him a ride home from the hospital when he's all bandaged up.........

Too bad he didn’t have a gun!

That's why I keep a S&W 36 in my pocket at all times.

Got two pitbulls across the street. So far no issues. Except for the people a few houses down that called the doggie cops on him. $400 to bust them out of dog jail.
Now....we have another noob across further down with a pair dobermans that will come out of the yard and put up a pretty good bluff. They’ll charge and stop at 10ft.
I need to put on a halloween mask, and carry a tobacco stick over there and see what they’ll really do.
Sorry to hear bout your friend

I'll bet that it had never been aggressive before, either.

There's a solution to pit bulls that does not involve a gun.
They're called Rottweilers. Just let go of the leash and watch them do what they do.

I always wanted to rent a mountain lion for a few days. I remember dealing with pitbulls on some roofing jobs. Yappity yappity yap yap, with their squeaky barks.
Oh yeah...say hello to my little friend

There is a reason I carry a big stick, a good easy access knife, and a Glock 27 when I walk my dog, my dog is a 65 lb Belgian Malinois who could probably put up a decent defense, but why take chances.

What's the best cartridge/load combination for a pit bull?
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?
