In my neighborhood, about 2/3 of the homes have dogs, and it seems like half of them run loose. I carry a clatter stick. Most dogs stop when they hear the stick. Two didn't stop, but they did when they felt it and that was enough for them. Haven't had to go to my backup weapon yet.
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.
Let's be fair and honest about that, Will. Look at the number of hits and misses in a surprising number of LEO shootings. I think we can agree that while not trained to military standards, LEOs are still more highly trained than the average citizen given the range time and stress training. You're also an uber badass, so your judgment is skewed.
I consider 11B to be the average soldier, not 88M. But, I'm not allowed to discuss military topics or I'll be banned so this will have to be my last comment on that subject.
I don't disagree that people should be capable of shooting a gun accurately if they're going to carry it. I'm just saying that expecting the average citizen to be Special Forces accurate is a stretch.

Scott, I see what you're getting at.
And for me, the 18 series is the "average" soldier!
However, I have advocated *many* times that people who are serious about increasing their ability to defend themselves take the time and attend one of the fine gun training schools here in the USA.
So I'm going to list them once again ( hey....I'm always hoping that I'll bump into a friend while I'm there, I have a life membership to Front Sight < hint hint > )
Oh yeah, the Sega 12 would be SWEET. For that matter, my Remington 870 would work just fine. It's not going to take me a magazine worth of shells to take care of the business at hand.
I'm not worried about hitting my target with a handgun, moreso about passthrough of the bullet. The snakeshot recommendation fixes that problem, though.
My first line is the walking stick and second line handgun. There are actually very few stray dogs in my particular area.
Will, I agree those schools would be most excellent for the average firearm carrier.
A dog has alot of friends because he wags his tail instead of his mouth.
