I had the same thought last night and intend to try to put one together tonight. If my pit bull doesn't kill me when I get home.
Here he is as a puppy. Note, he already had a gun. (Actually in the photo to give size perspective)

A dog fight ended with a hail of bullets in a Philadelphia suburb, leaving residents shocked and looking for answers.
The incident started on Friday at around noon when a stray dog got into a pickup truck at a red light in Chester, Pa., and began fighting with another pooch, NBCPhiladelphia.com reported.

About a year ago, in the middle of winter I had a loud banging on my front door and could hear yelling that it was police ans bright flashlight shining down the hallway. The three dogs (average 70 lbs) were going crazy and running to the door. I yelled out to wait till I get dressed. I was in my undies asleep and had grabbed my Mossy 12 Ga with 3-inch 00 buck. I got an overcoat, put my Kahr MK40 in the left pocket and had the 12 Ga in my right hand under my coat without arm in sleeve. I got all dogs in the bedroom and closed the door. The cop started off aggressive and then seemed to calm down. I had my left hand on the MK40 aimed at him in my pocket. The problem was a car stuck in the snow in front of my house. He could have run the plates to know ir was not mine, but he chose to be in a situation that he alarmed me, and my dogs, and if he had made even a slight movement toward his gun he would be getting a face full of 00 buck. These thugs need to think what they would do if places were switched. They are not “SPECIAL” they work for us at our expense.
I should have added that this aggressive action happened at about 4:00 a.m. over a car stuck in the snow on the road that was not mine.
Yep. Four legs and a tail, it's a pitbull. Especially if it is already dead - then it absolutely was a pitbull.
Glad your dogs were ok.
Someone really needs to make a dog chart with most of the dog breeds identified as “pitbull” in line with the Journalist’s Guide to Firearms that is posted here.
Some folks here who would never trust a journalist’s identification of a firearm are far too quick to trust the same journalist when the word “pitbull” is used.
“Where I work we have a problem with pit bulls. Thugs get them, breed them, fight them, train them to be aggressive and then, when they don’t want them anymore they simply let them run wild. I once saw a guy walking his pit bull down the street and he had tied a cinder block around it’s neck.”
No, you have a problem with thugs.
It’s the thugs who are making bad breeding decisions.
It’s the thugs who fight them.
It’s the thugs who train them to be aggressive.
It’s the thugs who dump them when they are unwanted.
The person IDing was the filming witness, not a cop.
Good for you.
Sometimes these cops overreact. But sometimes there’s not much better choice. This story is unclear. I’m laughing a bit at the idea that all these bullets would ricochet. It can happen, but 300 years ago armor was dropped as pointless on soldiers because musket fire went right through. Close range, likely you just get holes in your car.
Doesn’t make my post less true.
Some police have their manhood very much tied together with their control issues. When a situation arises where control is not easily achievable, they feel it’s takes their manhood away. Which is right when they feel a need for tbeir 9mm manhood to take its place.
If you have any POs as friends, observe how when they get tense or in an argument they don’t wave their hands around. Their hands drop to their sides as if adjusting their rig and reassuring themselves by the sidearm’s weight, even if it’s not there. No matter what the challenge is. Seeing them do this when it’s their kid complaining about washing the dishes is pretty revealing.
Most people know a pit-bull type. Despite semantics trying to make it just a single specific breed, it is in fact a type covering many including mutts. The fighting breeds all have the same basic look, even when they’re the oversized kind. Only a few of those breeds have long since lost the genetics of fighting.
True.
Further, every dog that has attacked, bitten, barked at or sneezed upon a person in the last fifteen years has been a pit bull. Every dog in every news report that isn't wearing a bow in its hair is a pit bull. Every dog that has ever done anything unsavory is a pit bull. Every dog that has ever hijacked an airplane has been a pit bull. Every dog that is delinquent in paying its income tax is a pit bull. Every dog that has ever rang your doorbell and run is a pit bull. Why did the Space Shuttle Columbia crash? Ignoring the frozen o-ring problem the launch was given the green light by, you guessed it ........ a PIT BULL!

As a German Shepherd lover I guarantee that’s exaggeration. Indeed some people don’t know much and get dogs totally different mixed up, but most know pretty well the look of some rather popular breeds. Nonetheless, the ignorance and misidentification that does exist - and mixed ancestries - turns me against bans on dogs.
Well we both know that prior to pit bulls being the “devil dog” that got all of the blame for everything the Doberman and GSD had their turns getting the blame.
Got some cattle dog in there...Cute dog.
To an extent they deserved it. Lots of poor GS and there still are. But then, they are and have been undoubtedly the most popular dog in the world for 50 years+, so between toughness, drive-breeding and sheer #s it’s not shocking they are high on bite lists by simplistic #s.
Red Heeler and thanks!
Been there, done that, heard all the bull sh*t.
Owned every breed in the list.
Never had a ‘bad’ one.
Same as it ever it was, it’s the people not the dogs.
Period.
