Always have at least a folder on me. Always.
I probably shouldn't wear flip flops as often as I do.

This may sound weird, but I actually took a class that covered dealing with attack dogs. It was an escape & evasion course that was made available through the State Dept back in the '90's. And I learned if a dog is attacking with real killing intent, you have to strangle it. Which means, it will latch on to your arm, you then use that arm to pin the dog to the ground, and then choke with the other hand. This also prevents the dog from doing the shake that will break your forearm. You have to clench down as hard as you can on the airway, and hopefully you have a hand full of carotid artery at the same time. Takes nearly one full minute to choke a dog unconscious, and in such scenario's they often don't regain consciousness.
In the class we dressed up in the big mummy suit, and I'm here to tell you I about fudged my Huggies when the Doberman came at me.
That's for medium to large dogs. For small dogs, use the old fashion treatment... PUNT!!
I don't "get" California, Land of Fruit and Nuts".

I'd carry a little fixed blade but those go from totally legal to a felony in CA if you're shirt falls over and conceals it.
Of course we talked in great detail about getting away from, but I don't recall us really addressing multiple dogs unarmed...but it was a little over 20 years ago, and I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday.tonguengroover wrote: Thu Sep 16, 2021 5:56 pm Hee hee
Tough one getting tag teamed like that guy did. Did they teach you how to deal with two dobies? He prolly shoulda jumped up on the car.
However, as possibly as it may be being attacked by wandering dogs I worry more about the dang Javelina's out here. When outside the casa I'm always with the Mastador who at 125lbs can handle himeslef pretty good but those pigs have razor sharp teeth and will rip a dog apart, not a good match. And they have a lower center of gravity.
Also accidently stumbling onto a baby javelina is like doing the same with a bear cub. Get the F' out of there asap as moms right around the corner. Had a friend tree'd by javelina for several hours.
I bought some Bear spray at Costco couple months ago. I hope that works as well as OC spray? What's OC spray?FrontSight wrote: Fri Sep 17, 2021 12:00 pm A fixed blade knife would straight ruin a pit bull's day. Good points on the OC spray, a dog's highly refined sense of smell REALLY gets overwhelmed.
Never let attacking anything get you off your feet. Unless it's a playful partner and there's a soft landing.DJD100 wrote: Fri Sep 17, 2021 1:43 pm and never let attacking dogs get you off your feet if you can help it!
OC = oleoresin capsicum. AKA pepper spray.tonguengroover wrote: Fri Sep 17, 2021 1:16 pmI bought some Bear spray at Costco couple months ago. I hope that works as well as OC spray?

Definitely a fixed blade unless you have a very reliable LARGE folder you can open one handed.

But seriously, stay on your feet. Even knees are better than prone on the ground where you lose all mobility and leverage.
Well that is a very cool weapon. I kinda worry about the gun look cus someone might mistake it for a gun. Is your back up a hand gun?DJD100 wrote: Sat Sep 18, 2021 2:19 amfeatureless wrote: Fri Sep 17, 2021 1:47 pmNever let attacking anything get you off your feet.

Just ordered my sub compact Taser Pulse Plus (which will fit my Kahr PM9 holsters, plus it uses standard batteries rather the the plain Taser Plus which uses a proprietary battery pack), so pretty soon I'll be packin' stand-off volts LOL!
$329 here, usually $449 most places (yeah, I know!)...
