I can't/shouldn't carry a side arm Will; I'd shoot the stupid owner, then rescue the dog.
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.
I have the same problem. I bought my son a hickory walking stick to take his Border Collie for walks in an area with lots of loose dogs. Of course, he didn't have it when the pitbull broke out of the neighboring house and postured up against his dog. By the time the owner got his pit back, my son (19 years old) had the pit lifted up by the scruff of his neck. Fortunatly, the pit let himself be restrained. That situation could have been SO much worse. I've since counseled him about 1)walking around any more than necessary in that neighborhood and 2) how to break up an attack if it happens. He now has a better plan...but he also claims the "cudgel" I bought him is too heavy and he just takes a 2x2.
Hey, our governor just signed a bill in AZ allowing concealed carry of firearms. I wouldn't want to discharge one in the city on a dog though. Too many places that bullet could go.
A dog has alot of friends because he wags his tail instead of his mouth.

Yea for AZ!!
Another State sees the light and allows its citizens to protect themselves!
And Rob, here's how I look at the statement "Too many places that bullet could go" - you practice and become proficient with your chosen weapon and you won't have to worry about where your bullets will go, because they'll go into your target.
Problem solved.
That thing might not hit as hard as the Blackthorn, but still if I was a stray dog I wouldn't act fancy against a dude with a quarterstaff and a dozen of muts following him. :P

Edit reason: change embedded photo to URL
On a more serious note, has anyone here ever had to beat the crap out of a stray dog with a walking stick or something?
The Blackthorn is certainly lethal. If you carry this thing around, you must be ready to deal with an overly aggressive owner running at you, armed or not. So you might actually have two deaths or serious injuries to justify in court...

Hi, Francis,
Photos (aside from sig pics) are limited to the intro/bio forum (two allowed in the posters intro) and the memorial post (one) in the forum for dogs who have died. The mods try to keep up with changing them to URLs and PMing the poster, but I know we miss some. (I realize you thought you had linked it rather than embedding it by mistake and "changed it back" before I could PM you .... )
Linking to photos, including a Photbucket-type account, is great, though, and not limited.
