Always be carrying. For my kids, it turns into "Always be charging."

Did anyone get my joke?

Hmmm....where have I seen those stats before?

Time to call a real estate professional and list your house.

I use the term “professional” very casually.

Good luck deciding upon which pit bulls are dangerous or not. Many "good" pit bulls have attacked their owners seemingly out of the blue. Thus, all pit bulls are dangerous! Their killing instinct has not been bred out of them.

What would y’all carry while walking to fend this thing off if you had to?

300blk pistol, w/subs and a can on it.

massive pit bull. Like 70+ pound dog.

There are 70+ pound dogs and then there are pits.

There is a ton of strength and leverage packed into pits including their jaws.

There also has to be a reason why a dog with such strength, leverage, and biting power isn’t commonly used by law enforcement or the military.

They don’t have a fence and leave the dog to just chill in their driveway.

While walking my dog, the dog barks at us and bows up, but has not charged us yet.

Having a fence in a neighborhood seems like it should be a requirement before getting a medium or large dog much less a pit. Seems like city would have a code about it. If they got dog at 70 pounds it’s a pre-owned or rescue (shady rescue without requiring proper fenced yard) and still getting to know it making it even more ignorant to just leave it outside without a fence and not on a leash. You walking your dog near it makes it more likely to get triggered at some point.


Has there been a consensus on what is best non-gun defense to carry while walking another dog if a loose pit shows up and starts fighting your dog?

We don’t have many pits in neighborhood, but even with fence and leash requirements they get out and cause issues every so often. They aren’t shy about finding and confronting people walking their dogs. Our dog may have 20 or more pounds on many pits but still know he wouldn’t win a straight fight with the pit much less while being hampered by being pulled back or away with leash against a loose pit. He is also very strong and protective and would be harder to control if loose pit starts a fight or just comes around making using a gun safely problematic on top of our son walking the dog some as well.
