I'm recovering from the flu, and so haven't been doing much of anything lately. However, I stumbled across a post from the Old NFO that's worth reading. You can find it here, and if nothing else the situations describe a few people who actually need a keeper. Be sure to read the comments as well.
On the Reddit front, I decided to respond to a typical moonbat post about vicious dogs and society's responsibility to provide a safe and secure area for everyone. Mistake on my part.
The event and news article: Charges Pending After Dog Attack Injures Columbus Boy
From the article:
According to a 911 call, the boy's father reported that his son's face was "deformed by the attack." The officer described the boy's condition to a paramedic, saying, "The kid is messed up bad, they threw him in a cruiser and took him to [Nationwide Children's Hospital], I just put the dogs down."
Then we have the idiots on reddit, as shown below:

Hmmmm... sorry, Jack, but I'll have to disagree with you a bit. The dog owner bears a good degree of responsibility here to keep his (known dangerous) dogs under control. The article mentions that one had been involved in a previous attack. The owner is at fault here, and charges against him would seem to be entirely warranted.
Yes, ultimately your safety is primarily your own responsibility, but at the same time you have a responsibility to not create a public danger.
Yes,
Reddit is a faggot/femcnut enclave for the most part, and you can expect a lot of nonsense there. There’s occasionally good stuff but you have to dig for it. I personally can’t be bothered with it.
Jack, make a choice on pepper spray vs guns. In any shooting you have to consider what will happen in the court room afterwards. Your average sleazy lawyer will ask why you went for your gun instead of the pepper spray if you carry both. Brandishing a firearm at a pavement ape will make a bigger impression on him than the can of pepper. Find out what kind of ammo your local cops use and use it in your carry guns. Sleazy lawyers will try and portray you as a spiteful psychotic for using more lethal ammo. In a shooting there are things you should tell the cops, and things you shouldn’t. It’s imperative that if you do lay out an ape or other failed liberal social experiment… you call the cops first. That’s a big deal in court.
Part of self defence is defending yourself in court afterward. It varies from state to state, but such things are usually common sense and straightforward.
Truth, if you have a dangerous dog or any animal, the owner is responsible to take all reasonable precautions to keep the critter caged. Some years back there was an incident involving a chimpanzee attacking a woman. The chimp was perfectly friendly - until it wasn't. Four shots from a .38 drove it off, but the damage had already been done.
The point I was unsuccessfully trying to make is that when you dial 9-1-1 the cops are minutes away. Until they arrive, you're on your own.
In Ohio, and in the USA, you are required to tell the cops your name. Nothing else, just your name. What I've been told by the folks who have been to school and have on the job experience is that after a shooting you put the gun on the ground in plain sight and you wait. When the cops show up, you say:
I have done nothing wrong.
He / She / It / They were trying to kill me.
I want my lawyer.
They'll try to get you to talk, but you just keep repeating that mantra. Eventually you'll get to call your lawyer.
I think the cops in my area are packing a Glock .40. My carry pistols are a .380 auto, and a 9x18 auto (think .380 on steroids).
I used to think that a trial by jury was the best choice, but these days I'm not so sure. Twelve people, none of whom are smart enough to get out of jury duty is one argument.
I hope you feel better ASAP. FOX OC stops dogs in their tracks.
“Don’t talk to the cops” is generally good advice. But if you’re going to carry, you need to have the mindset to use your weapon effectively and legally, and have a sound plan to deal with the ERT paramedics and cops that will arrive on the scene, as well as the judges and lawyers later on in court.
Massad Ayoob is a former law enforcement officer, pro-2A, and full time gunnie and I personally think you should give him 10 minutes.

Thanks for the tip. I'll see if any of my local gun stores have it, and if so, I'll pay cash.
Glen, thanks for the link.
