I have a female friend, and she has a daughter, 12. We went for a walk up to the 7 for some ice cream and sat outside on the curb...at night. Our german shepherd was with the kid sitting about 20' away from us on the opposide side of the driveway. Everything was lit well and we're enjoying the warm fall evening.
A couple scruffy guys start walking up to her talking to the dog, and he wasn't alerting for some reason. "Oh what a nice dog you have", "Does he bite" etc. This goes on for about 5 tense minutes, and I'm looking over at my friend giving her the rib a few times, but she just says to be calm (works at a hotel during graveyard shift).
Now these two characters are too close to her for my comfort and the dog isn't doing s**t. It would have taken about 1.8 seconds for one guy to grab her and take off.
I wasn't armed. What would have been the proper response if I had been?
