I havent read this entire thread....but thought I would add my two cents. Worth that to some, and more/less to others.

Before my CHL went active, I was at my grandfathers house in ******ville Texas. Their has been problems with his neighbors pitbull before. Ya know the type, seems like the dog was trained to guard methlabs. That kind of deal.

Long story short, I was out getting a pack of smokes out of my truck (where the pistol was at in accordance with the MPA) and here comes the pit. I tried to get around him to go back in the house...he cut me off. Snarling, the whole nine yards. I retrieved the pistol, and tried it again. When he advanced again, I drew a bead..and when he took a good lunge, I put one in his chest.

I had to deal with the owners over it, they threatened to call the Sheriffs office, and I told them I'd wait for the Sheriff's. Nothing ever happened; no police were called by the owners, and I'm pretty sure the reason for that was that the dog had at least 7 complaints called in on it that I know of.


I felt completely justified pulling the trigger in that situation. I hated having to put a dog down, but the owners had been warned, and I was quite literally shaking with fear. If that dog had gotten ahold of me, it would've been bad.
