A few months back I did have an interesting encounter when in the dimly lite wee hours of the morning what I thought was a coyote was b lining it towards me, fast enough that I didn't think an ASP was a good option. I drew my weapon. Turns out the owner was walking down by the river and the dog had just come up the levee to say high. He yelled out "whoa whoa!" I apologized and told him to be careful about the coyotes. He was incredibly understanding and for some reason has been very polite every time I see in the morning.

I hope to never have to shoot a dog in self defense.

What makes you believe that?

There's been a lot of back-and-forth discussion about it but below is the reason some believe that

PC §46.15. NON-APPLICABILITY wrote:(b) Section 46.02 does not apply to a person who:

(6) is carrying a concealed handgun and a valid license issued under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, to carry a concealed handgun;

Others contend that was not what the legislature intended.
