The only good thing here is Darwin’s theory held true.
And now that one stupid pet owner has met his fate, so should the dogs. They should simply be shot where standing. A 45 hollow point should do the trick quickly and relatively painlessly.
I’ve told this story before.
There’s a nice walking trail near where I live. Well, a couple of years ago some guy whose house is on the trail bought a pit bull. The damn thing growls insanely and tugs on his chain whenever anyone walks by.
I still walk the trail. But now I carry a pistol. Not too big, not too small. What’s that old saying? Better to hit something with a 22 than miss with a 45.
Side note to the AFT snoops: I’m speaking hypothetically here. I lost all my guns in a boating accident years ago.
People argue over whether their tendency to go nuts is a product of their genetics or their owners’ negligence. I kinda think it’s both.
I’m pretty sure too. A vicious sport. Our tour guide dragged us to a dog-fighting ring when we were visiting the Philippines. Stomach turning.
Yes I agree. I have been around single Pits and found them lots of fun. Something happens to them when they are in a group it would appear.
Just like mastiffs, Rottweilers and Dobermans.
>>I’d be thinking about the minimum caliber needed if I were attacked.<<
Totally AGREE.
A lot of dead people said exactly what you said.
Yeah, my discussion of all that kinda stuff is strictly hypothetical for me too, after my reformation.
I took all those loud instruments of death to a welding shop and had a guy cut them all up, receivers first, of course, then I towed the scrap metal over the scales.
From now on, I’ve decided that the best policy is to reason with disadvantaged yutes, etc...
But I still like to talk about it all, theoretically.
My assumption is that I wouldn’t be able to hit a Pit Bull running at me full speed, even if I did still own firearms, hence my theoretical interest in shot loads.
But what I actually do now, really, is carry a couple of c-notes and a box of doggie treats. I just couldn’t do harm to any living creature, even if it meant to harm me or someone I love.
You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.
I hope someday you’ll join us.
And the world will live as one.

That’s actually my decision. To each his own, but I don’t like autos. Either you have one in the pipe and have to fiddle with a safety, or you have rack one while under stress. Nope. I think Joe Friday was right. A .38, and be done with it.
He entered the yard to feed the dogs and man did they eat well! Screw Kennel Ration. The man was not a victim, just first in line to test out his “pitties.”
I never turn my back on my 60# female black lab, you just never know. My wife may have been training her when I wasn’t looking.
And the police didn’t have a sharpshooter come in and dispatch the pack tu suit?
Supposedly only 5% of all dog owners bother to train their animals. Not even the basics, sit, stay, come. I imagine it’s way less for pit bulls considering the gang culture is involved with that breed. I tend to think it’s just that the consequences of large powerful dogs bred for fighting going untrained are much greater than other breeds. You can get away with it with the various terriers, but if humans were only 4 inches tall there would be a lot of deaths.

It’s a bit of a side story, but I’m in a typing mood. A friend of mine went hunting in Alaska. The guide carried a sawed-off, double-barreled shotgun as protection against grizzly bears.
My friend: Why a double-barrel? That’s only two shots.
The guide: If a grizzly charges you, two shots is the most you’re gonna get.
I have that situation down the street. I always carry now walking in the neighborhood.
I can see that point, if I were still into that kinda stuff.
Someday the grizzly bears will sense man’s innate goodness and restrain themselves from eating people.
There’s no need for anyone to have a firearm.
