Thank you guys.
When I looked at it on internet, I found that it could be considered as a concealed weapon. However I did not know about the length requirement.

I carry bear spray. My neighborhood is the same as yours, having frequent loose dog offenders. I just had to use it the other day, and like you, I get upset every time I need to use it. The owners told me their dog just "really loves other dogs." Soooo many clueless people! A friendly dog does not charge barking at other dogs. Because of all of our experience with loose dogs, my dog is not good with other dogs. Even if a friendly dog ambles over, he will fight. I feel your pain and frustration. Bear spray works very well for me. Another lady in my neighborhood carried a stun baton, but was attacked by a pair of dogs and was mauled despite... Jut an FYI. (Yes my the problem is so bad they are running in packs here) Animal control knows me as the pepper spray lady. I don't like the stigma, but my dog has never been in a fight!!

Practically IMPOSSIBLE to Conceal, IMHO -- Worn in an "open carry" hip holster at least the size of a Law Enforcement Officer's NIGHT-STICK It is NOT a "stun-Gun" and there are NO wires or Electrodes that shoot out !!!
The screechy noise & ozone smell when you spark one in the AIR alone is enough to deter Normal Dogs from coming any closer -- I have NEVER even had to Touch an aggressively approaching K9 with mine in the more than 10 YEARS that I've had it...
If you really feel as if you constantly have a need to defend yourself on your walks with your dog, I highly concur with Nicole's recommendation to carry either pepper or bear spray. You could combine that with just using a walking stick or trekking pole, as I often use, especially when hiking in the woods. Neither will raise any issues with local law enforcement and are much easier to manage with on your walk and very easy to deploy if needed.
Just like Nicole said, our dog's temperament was forever changed also due to bad encounters with attacking dogs that I failed to fend off. Our Bailey is a great dog and great with people but simply does not like any other dogs now, regardless of how friendly they are. You have every right to defend your dog and yourself.

Thanks for your advises Greg. I do appreciate them.
Chokai is an intact 23 months old Akita puppy. He is all Akita. So far I do not really see any difference in his behaviour towards other dogs but this is something that I am always thinking and worrying about. To notice, I am not a dog park person and I do not let my dog off leash around other dogs. I do off leash in fenced area such as tennis court when I am alone with him.
Chokai is a show dog. During shows, he has always been great at ignoring other dogs so far. Our next show will take place in May. I am going to be very careful because of what happened recently.
During our walk, I would say that he "likes" a few dogs, snob most of the others or is a bit exited, and does not like 3-4 dogs. For these 3-4 dogs I always try to avoid them or walk obedience with Chokai from a great distance.This is a huge huge work in progress.
Thks again Greg.
PS: I love your dog
