Carrying an Asp while walking a dog.

It's more for my gf than my self, she already Carrys a Spyderco salt1 and some pepper spray, I was just wondering about the legality of it. All I could find about it is that your ccw does not allow it to be carried concealed.

Pit bulls? Ex fighting dogs? Draco pistol should work, oh and I love dogs, hate the people that breed and "train" them for fighting.

I've dealt with quite a few dogs over the years.

I like the fiberglass aerial idea but I have one of these that has never failed me.

As opposed to bad pepper spray.

Yes there are good and bad pepper sprays. Some of the ones from gun shows aren't worth a crap. Freeze +p, cap stun, and vexor etc are like liquid evil in a can.

I carry a Glock 19 when I walk my dog. I live in a semi-rural area where my threats may range from people to other dogs, feral dogs, coyotes and bobcats.

I carry either my g19 or my Taurus model 27 revolver with 3 rat shot and 4 hollow points for animals, wild or not, when I walk my girl every day. I'm not worried about people, only animals, on my street.

If a baton is considered a weapon, which I think it might be, just buy a nylon holster ($10 bucks) and keep it on your hip. We have one that we keep on our fireplace mantle in its nylon pouch and it can easily go on a belt. Although, even if I am walking with my two German Shepherds, I still feel better having a good 'ole .357 Mag on my hip instead of a baton...the distance and ease of use are more practical in my opinion.

Once upon a time I used to ride a bicycle before I figured out the vehicles zooming a few feet away were more harmful to my health than an easychair and Budweiser.

Also sometimes on my rides I faced threats from barking and snarling dogs. My solution to that was an extendable car radio antenna with a wire-spring base. It retracted to about a foot long, and extended to about five feet, kind of like an Asp-light (but long). The spring base made a good handle. As noted before, a swishing rod in front of or on a dog's nose is quite impressive to our Best Friends. I used the antenna like a conductor leading a band and always got the dogs following my song-sheet.

I also carried a pistol as a last-and-lasting resort, but the flying rod defence never failed. In any case, a loosened bullet or pellets, especially in a neighborhood-type scenario, is not something to take lightly.

Now, when I'm walking in rural fields and woods with no people around, I skip the antenna. Threatening dogs out there carry a different implication and get a different response.
