Will Rambeau Moderator Reg: 01-25-2003 Posts: 5983 Loc: Idaho Offline	We get *a lot* of threads about people getting attacked by stray aggressive dogs while walking their own dogs, and I'm an strong advocate of firearms for self-defense. However, I realize that some folks cannot or will not consider a firearm for self-defense, so I'd like to offer an insight into my second line of self-defense for dog walks: Cold Steel makes an excellent shillelagh, it's just a walking stick so it can't be considered illegal even in the nanny states and boy, can it do some damage!! A link to the stick: http://www.coldsteel.com/irishblackthorn.html And a link to a short video of the stick in action, check it out and consider adding it to your "must have" list: http://tv.coldsteel.com/?id=91PBS The Fetz dog: http://www.leerburg.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/79673/page/25

Joyce Salazar Webboard User Reg: 02-28-2008 Posts: 2075 Loc: Dallas, Texas Offline	Hey Will, thanks for the suggestion. I have always wondered what I could carry that wasn't illegal. This looks like the perfect thing. I think Dennis is right, I might need some lessons on how to use it, but this sure looks strong enough and durable to last a lifetime. Not to mention the bite force of certain breeds! I will look into this, thanks for the links. Joyce Salazar

Diane Joslin Webboard User Reg: 01-09-2007 Posts: 368 Loc: Las Vegas, NV Offline	I seem to have come up with a good solution for those annoying chihuahuas and other tiny dogs that like to bark at our heels as Nickie and I walk past their yard. I packed two small pine cones into my Leerburg bait bag and the first time the two tiny dogs raced out of their yard toward us, I tossed one of the pine cones at it. The dogs must have thought it was a hand grenade because they turned tail and ran. I have not seen either one of them for at least a month. Just to be on the safe side, the two pine cones are always in my bag when Nickie and I go for our walk each morning.

That looks somewhat easier to carry and handle than my usual 50"ish ash walking stick. I say keep the sticks and pepper spray for the dogs, keep the 9 mm's for the stupid owners.
