Attacked by a dog?
omaharj:
I don't know the legal outcome,especially the reaction from the Law in Lancaster, but the pepper spray sounds like the perfect intermediate step. I can't imagine a reasonable person objecting to a dog being shot that was still aggressively attacking someone after being sprayed. I would face the dog,yell "Down." loudly, with a deep voice. Without backing up,place the pepper spray,ready to fire,in my left hand,while my right is positioned on my carry weapon. If all goes as hoped, no one would ever see the gun. I suspect 95% of the time the pepper spray would work.
Two or more dogs get a little tricky. :o RJ

I do want to add if it is a little sh*t dog, something you can boot across the lawn, I would do that instead. Cops around here have shot those types of dogs and that is crazy. A little dog can do damage but you can certainly fend it off.
If my basset got out and she jumped on someone, I would understand if they shot her. I've done everything I can to teach her not to jump on people and she doesnt listen around strangers at all. Around me she is perfect. She is very non agressive but she is very loud and sounds very big.
Pepperspray is a good idea but are we really expected to carry all this crap with us? Besides, unless you spend big bucks most of the little pepper sprays fail to work anyways when needed. My wife has had a couple and all they did is fall apart on her. So I got her glock 26, that is holding up nicely :)

What about the Vexor brand that I saw down at Thunder Alley? Looked like it was a solid little unit for about $10 or $15.

I would think a dog's more sensitive nose (relative to a human) would be affected considerably by a blast of pepper spray. Granted, once activated, the instincts of a dog bred for fighting/attacking may override its other senses.

They say "Wasp & Hornet Spray" is a very effective defensive weapon.
Little big to carry, maybe.
