She's not going to shoot the damn thing. You guys can discuss weapons elsewhere.
I must disagree with your reasoning, Mame.
From her description, this situation is a threat against her life.
Pitbulls have killed women before.
She needs the means to
CONTROL the situation in the event
of
another, more violent, predatory emergency.
Her survival shoud not be left to the
discretion of the Pitbull.

Well, in the meantime while u r not stopping,
the dog is still a physical threat to her life.
She has described that in this thread.
If I knew her, I 'd be a lot more insistent in suggesting
that she have the means to sustain her life in the event of predatory violence
which is
more than just theoretical.

That is an excellent point, and one that I have ofen made,
but one shoud not be complacent in the meantime,
merely
hoping for the best.
