Nice shooting.
Too bad she didn’t get the other one.
Nice shooting lady, hope your dog is ok....
Outside this being a limp-wristed puff piece;
Now,
1. go after the owner of the dogs
2. giver her gun back to her (without excuse)
A basset hound is pretty much a defenseless dog anyway.
Way to go, lady!
Perhaps a dumb question, but is there any law that a pistol needs to be “registered” in California?
That's the new PC term for South Central, right?
She will probably never see her gun again, but it served her well. Another Pit Bull that wont eat a kid ro someone’s else’ pet. Yes I know it’s not the dog it’s the owners.
BULL
BOOM!!!...
In better neighborhoods, it is still a good idea to carry pepper spray at a minimum. In practice, I have seen a little “toot up the snoot” get a pit bull’s attention enough for him to release, where a gun would have been impractical.
Importantly, in a dog on dog confrontation, when people try to pull them apart they often get bit. Even if they don’t, they can’t usually separate them. When using pepper spray, you can both get safely close and give out the warning “pepper spray in 3...2...1!”, like “fire in the hole!”, as fair warning for the people involved.
The rules are very different for a dog on person attack. Spray first and ask questions later, because every moment is another chance for a grievous permanent injury.
As frightening as it sounds, if the first pepper spray doesn’t work in such a case, go for a heart stab with a knife.
