As if we really need more of these, but here's one from KETV:
An Omaha toddler underwent surgery Wednesday night to reattach her scalp after a pit bull attacked her and three other people.
I love dogs. I do. The ASPCA commercial of all the dogs in shelters KILLS me. I love my two girls... er... beagles more than is likely healthy.
That said....
If a pit bull (or any other breed, for that matter) decided to lock jaws on my baby (or my pooches) it would possibly get a .451" (or.358") dose of reality.
Whenever we take the girls for a walk, I always slip at least a J-frame in the pocket. My wife thinks its for two-legged vermin, which is 75% of the case. It's also for the numerous deep-throated barkers that seem damn determined to bust out and eat my 30lb bed hogs.
No one can tell me a pit bull does not represent a lethal threat. Sadly, two of that breed's biggest strengths, its power and determination, also makes it hard to kill. Unless you can shut off the brain (and not even then) can you stand a good chance of ending the attack. Once those jaws clamp shut, death is often the only way to escape.
The worst part? I'd probably feel just as bad about shooting a dog to death as I would a thug.
Stay safe;

And all these yammering nincompoops can think of is banning pit bulls...........
.... as if banning them will make them vanish. This banning thing has worked SO WELL with Murder and drug use.......
This "Make it Illegal and the Problem is Solved" plan is not so foolproof..... 1st, have a Plan. Then have a Plan B, in case plan A goes awry.....
.... My plan B is made by Springfield Armory, and, while not foolproof, is much more effective than screaming hysterically until my throat gets ripped out.....
It all comes down to the realization that I am ultimately responsible for Me and Mine.
I'd rather shoot almost anything but a dog. They have a way of looking at you...
I've heard that if you take out the back-end of the mutt's skull, just ahead of where it joins the spine, the jaws will relax. Just in case that turns out to be BS, wooden wedges and a mallet will get the jaws of death off of your kid.
When pit bulls are outlawed, only outlaws will have pit bulls.
