6. If you use pepper spray for dogs, I'd suggest

buying bear spray. When a pitbull is on a nut, not much will stop it. My ex shot a pitbull with her duty 40 cal and the bullet bounced off it's head.

My instructor told me when attacked by a dog, he and other cops would hold their handgun out toward the dog. When the dog went to clamp down on the hand and gun, that was the time to pull the trigger. Makes a lot of sense to me. That way if the dog doesn't go for you, you don't shoot it. I've had owners sit on the porch and laugh when their dog went after me on my bike. Once I stopped, put the bike between me and the dog and pulled my handgun, they started screaming at the dog to stop.
