I hope you will thank him for me! Seriously, I have been so wavery about this, not really wanting to lug around a big long stick when I have two or three dogs on lead, and worried about mace and pepper......... i will...glad this helped you make up you mind... i did not want to carry anything large either..thought about a 2ft. fiberglass CB antenna, but again, did not want anything that i "KNEW" i was having to carry..... they make nice little ABS plastic 'holsters' for the batons too...i would get one, that way, you 1. don't have to carry it in your free hand & 2. dont have to have it in your pocket and fumble for it...

Louis , I am sure now armed with your stick you'll feel a bit better to take your walk w/ your pup but it's always so frustrating to go through that.Good luck to ya..

Kristel Smart Webboard User Reg: 10-03-2006 Posts: 1548 Loc: Vermont Offline	Thanks for the link! It looks a lot more portable and durable than the really big stick I carry around. The stick has become shorter as it's been used, too It really steams me that we have to all contemplate what weapons to use to best protect our dogs/ourselves. It's too bad there can't be some kind of national law prohibiting loose dogs, one that creates huge fines for noncompliance. maybe then people would be a little more responsible.

Red Thomas Webboard User Reg: 11-04-2005 Posts: 199 Loc: Mesa, AZ Offline	I had a similar scenario w/Jäger last year with an APBT that prowling the neighborhood demonstrating serious dominant/expanding her territory behavior. As it approached us I pulled out my PPK and stared the dog down while sternly talking at it. Here in AZ you can cap a dog that's threatening you or your dog. You may want to check what Mississippi law says about it. The good news is you live in a shall issue state with a preemption law so you only need to know one set of rules. Red Thomas Mesa, AZ

It is a shame that some owners allow their dogs to slip down that slippery slope of aggression. It's not the dogs fault. http://www.vomhauslarkey.com

Sandy Moore Webboard User Reg: 07-25-2006 Posts: 2665 Loc: AZ Offline	Quote: Louis LaRose thanks... it just pisses me off that i work so hard to socialize my dog so that he will not be aggressive towards other dogs (animals) and then some ass-clown owner can not handle their dog.... here is a pic and link to what i got.... http://www.usapolicesupply.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=27 i ordered them locally....from a police uniform supply...(it was the only place that carried them in town...) Louis, you had no choice but to kick the dog to save your pup. It's hard for a dog lover to hurt any dog, but to save your own it's sometimes necessary. I had been looking at batons before, never saw this one though. It looks good. The ones I looked at seemed to be easily bent and somewhat flimsy. I already invested in pepper foam (for large aggressive dogs) and pepper spray for smaller but still attacking dogs. However, I don't feel great about this method of defense I chose cause don't want it blowing back in my face or my pup's. When you use a baton like the one you posted, do you hit the dog anywhere on the baton, or poke the dog with the tip? I'm assuming the current runs through the whole baton, but not sure if it's just electrical current on the tip. The problem I can see with tasers (vs batons) is you have to be a good shot the first time, no second chances.
