[QUOTE="one-non-blonde, post: 829960, member: 3382"] Here's my :twocents: When I walk in my neighborhood, I have many dogs that come towards me. Even though I carry, I have never felt the need to pull my gun. I have been bit before on several occasions by little fluffy things slightly larger than a rat. I have been very successful with remaining calm and issuing verbal instructions to the charging dog. This just happened last night. I clapped my hands and pointed while I said "no" in a loud authorize voice and the dog stopped in his tracks and retreated. This technique also happened a few weeks ago when I was with my husband and we were walking our 4 dogs. A loose black lab was running all around and started coming at us. I know my dog pack well. My pit bull would not be a problem, it would be my black lab that would finish it if the stray started anything. However, I didn't even want anything to escalate. So when it started to approach, I just squared off at it and shouted "no, go away" and the dog froze in mid step and ran off. My dog pack didn't even react. As Maverick said - understand what "aggressive" means. An approaching dog isn't always aggressive. And with proper conditioning of the person in handling the situation, lethal force can be avoided. Don't shoot just because of fear or uncertainty...OK...let the flamin' begin because I can feel it coming. ONB [/QUOTE]
