So I walk my dogs every morning on a nice trail by my house that also circles a school. I live in a great neighborhood with one of the lowest crime rates in the country and still carry on my walk (as long as I’m not going on the turn that circles the school)..... but this morning I left my ccw at home knowing that I would be walking around said school, and noticed 2 pit bulls with no leash or collar roaming free on the trail directly behind the playground, outside of my 2 black labs I had nothing on me to defend myself if the scenario should arise. Luckily, I was able to do a 180 and walk off before they noticed, got to another street and called animal control.Usually when I carry on walks it’s for a scenario similar to this one, however it being 30 yards from an elementary school I honestly have no clue what would come of me using a firearm in this scenario. Yes it’s self defense, but also a potential risk to the kids.Is not being armed in this case the best scenario? Alternative “anti-dog measures”? Or just avoid the school area all together? via /r/CCW http://bit.ly/2UYhscY
