I shot a pit bull in my front yard back in the 1980s. Guy down the road had just bought the dog that morning. Dog came in my yard and began growling. I fetched my 20 ga 18" pump with 0 buck. Dog came at me and I took the top of his head off. Neighbor came down and started having a fit. I told him the second it came on my yard it was time to take care of business. He started getting agressive and I ejected the spent hull and jacked one in the chamber. I advised him to leave and take the carcass with him.

Do what you have to do. No animal is worth harm to anyone. No animal deserves preference over any human. Be real certain of what you are doing with that pistol against an aggressive animal. You will know if you hit the central nervous system if it gets the stiff leg shudders. Seldom will the bullets sever the CNS to make an animal drop slack like in the movies. Go for CNS as heart shots on animals allows them to continue for quite some time.

Good luck.
