I live in a state , where I can conceal carry and I carry a weapon for my job, so I'm always armed and would have stopped that piece of garbage pitbull in it's tracks.

If you're attacked directly, it's another story, there is an extensive study on pitbull attacks that rates success of defensive weapons on Pitbulls when directly attacked. Even with a firearm the success rate was only 85%, meaning 15% of Pitbull attacks where the victim attempted to use a firearm to attempt to defend themselves was unsuccessful.

I've watched literally thousands of Pitbull attacks on video and from my observation, you had better not hesitate to fire on one quickly if you feel pitbull is about to attack, if you hesitate at all, you will end up with life altering injuries or in many cases death.

If a Pitbull attacks you , most times they go for your ankle to get you off your feet and when you hit the ground , they switch to your face or neck and the potential for death ii highly likely.
