I'm an avid cyclist, looking for ways to defend myself against aggressive stray dogs. How would you defend yourself in case of a dog attack? What tools and techniques would you use?
In the past I have been attacked by a pitbull while I was out riding. The attack happened very fast, the dog came from the bushes, I had no chance to spot it. I had no chance to defuse the situation or escape, so I had to fight. The only tool which I had was my knife. It was a very traumatic experience to end a life this way and I was injured too. I want to avoid situations like this in the future.
If push comes to shove I would like to avoid hand to hand combat with a dog. My legal options regarding "ranged" tools are either pepper spray or nonlethal noisemaking gas gun (9 mm P.A.K). I'm not sure that getting a carry permit for a gas gun would worth the hassle, or how could I carry while riding.
Thank you in advance for any advice!
