I have next door to me 3 very aggressive dogs, 1 pitbull and 2 pitbull mixes. When outside they bark at everything and anyone that moves. Have spoken with neighbor regarding this situation, and to make a long story short, have gotten nowhere. Owner was ticketed for barking dog. Only thing separating me from them when doing work around the house outside is a normal height chain link fence. Several places in my yard when mowing yard, cutting brush, etc. I'm at times 5 feet away from growling, teeth bearing dogs who are jumping up on the fence. Have had one of them climb half way over before. I've seen neighbor chasing the pitbull when it's gotten loose. Please, not attempting to flame certain dogs, this is just the way it is. No comments regarding dog choice or training are needed. Some folks won't change their behavior even after getting a dose of financial reality from a court.
Anyway, the purpose of this post is to ask the question, "what is a very good/best handgun and caliber for this situation?" I've been concealing in a fanny pack while doing yard work, and have come to the conclusion that it is way too slow in getting to (dedicated gun fanny pack with zipper pull and extended fob for zipper). It does keep the gun clean. However, time will be very short, indeed, if needed. I want to open carry on the hip, in all kinds of weather, and it will be sweat on, getting scrapped up, going through bushes, rain, snow, and general yard debris. J frame Smith fits hand well, although am also comfortable with larger frame revolvers/autos. Openly slung shotgun/rifle not practical in this situation.
Not quite sure about 38 Special Std., +P or 9mm, hardly leaves me feeling all warm and cozy. Let's hear your thoughts....
<<<Note to those who wish to respond. Please do not attempt to turn this into a discussion of the relative merits of various dog breeds. That is off topic on this forum. Thanks, JohnKSa>>>
