It's obvious some who feel the need to own dog breeds that are known to be and are classified by hundreds of US cities as vicious and will not recognize how dangerous these animals are to humans, smaller dogs and pets. Here's a news story from just last Friday.
FORT WORTH -- Two Fort Worth police officers shot and killed a "pit bull type" dog Friday that was charging an officer after attacking two utility employees and another person.
Police were called to the 6200 block of Truman Drive about 2 p.m.The attack happened when two Oncor Electric Delivery employees were at the house on a work order for an illegal power connection, police said.
While the employees were in the back yard with the dog, a resident came out and began arguing with the employees about disconnecting the power.
The argument escalated and the dog attacked one of the employees. The resident helped remove the dog from the worker's arm, but the dog attacked the other employee as he was climbing onto one of the trucks, police said.
The resident pried the dog's mouth open and used a metal pole to release its hold. A third man, who was walking down the street, was also bitten, police said.

Guess they should have had a knife or a stick. Hopefully the pit bull owners on this blog will not have their minds changed after their animals cause serious injury or death of someone. A gun does not have a brain and only does what the handler allows or asks it to do. A gun won't leave the house and attack someone without a pair of human legs to carry it. That's not true of animals, they have their own agendas. If guns could leave your house and kill a neighbors child on its own then I would be afraid of them also just as I am afraid of a human who intends me harm. That's why I carry, which was the point some seemed to miss.

I'm sure there are about as many irresponsible owners of ankle biters.

Only a few of you get it. Arguments about guns, cars or spoons harming people is, quite frankly, absurd. My car, left in garage, my gun, left in the front yard or spoons or knives or bats or any INANIMATE object is just that...inanimate. It takes a human to use it to cause harm. None of these things are going to jump the fence, go down the road and attack children playing. Hundreds of cities in the US go to extreme effort to keep "Pit Bull type dogs" out. These cities and thousands of communities, such as mine, have passed laws specific to certain types of dogs for a reason. They do this usually after an incident or incidents involving specific type dogs. In my community it was a police officer being attacked by a pit bull type and severely injured before he shot and killed the dog. I am disappointed in my fellow gun owners who have expressed anything but support for my right to walk out of my house without being threatened, whether it is a criminal or a vicious dog and felt it necessary to attack me to defend themselves.
