Will soon be carrying this legally on my evening dog walks to protect against vicious stray dogs, which can be a problem out here, thanks

Just carry bear spray..no need to kill a dog. Besides, you will look like the biggest d*ck with that thing. Lol
 
Has to be a joke. Bear spray is a good idea. Longer range than pepper spray.
 
A hickory walking stick would do just as well, and teach the dog a good lesson without killing it. What do you do when you kill someone's pet in their front yard, and they come after you?
 
You let them know their dog was a problem. Just like any self defense situation you make a choice to either defend yourself or not and accept the consequences. Op didn't say he was going to go around murdering any and all dogs and call it self defense. Dog attacks are the number one type of animal attack in this country, I would think our right to protect ourself carries over to that scenario.
 
Really? I bring this with me in case a stray coyote wants to bother my dogs

I'm hoping the "dagger" exclusion means I'll be able to legally carry double-edged knives. I don't have any real draw towards them, but it's occasionally limiting.
 
I said VICIOUS dogs. I should have explained a little better. I live out in the country were land owners will sometimes shoot dogs attacking their livestock. I don't feel comfortable shooting my pistol where I walk my dog as we are still somewhat in the outer city limits. I walk my little Yorkie and sometimes he attracts feral dog's attention. There is quite a feral dog problem out here from city folk dumping their unwanted pets. These dogs do pack up and can become dangerous. I do carry my pistol and I will use it if it is absolutely necessary, but I'd rather not because I do have some neighbors not far away. We had a little boy severely mauled by a Rottweiler not too long ago. That boy had to undergo rabies shots, not to mention his permanent scars suffered, because the dog was never found and it was never determined if it was a stray or what. If your bitten by a stray or savagely mauled, it is more convenient to have a corpus to test for rabies. I will defend myself in a do or die or mauled situation if I fear for me or my Yorkie's life. Sometimes it might be safer to use a long sticker for protection than a gun. Have you ever seen a knife hog hunt? Well if your trying to pry a 150 pound Rottwieler off a little kid or little defenseless puppy, I'd rather stick that Rott through the arm (leg) pit with along piece of sharp steel straight through to the heart. You'd have more control. It would be as humane as that pig hunt too. Of course I know you may not be able to accomplish either, safely, in some instances, so a potential rescuer would have to evaluate what to do in the middle of an adrenalin dump situation on a case by case situation. I know what I am going to do if I am attacked by a 150 pound pit bull. The dog attacks can be quite terrifying if they are even a little like some of the ones I have seen filmed in the news. I don't care what any bleeding heart liberal thinks, I will protect me and mine. Like I said, or didn't say, I'm not going out hunting the neighbors pets or any city folk abandoned strays for that matter. Sometimes a pop on the nose with a stick is just not enough, and I don't have to stab anything. I mean obviously it goes without saying I'm going to try beating off an attacker first. Give me the benefit of the doubt. The sword is the second to the last ditch option. I'll probably have my pistol too. Lighten up people. [emoji33]

I live in coyote country so I know where you're coming from.

Just remember your gun.

Also you can make your point without the political bs
 
As someone whose been attacked by a stray dog, I sure wish I'd had that sword cane with me. By all means, carry what you're comfortable with.
 
My neighbor's dog is quite vicious. We can't even be in our yard or drive way with out him growling and trying to ram his fence trying to attack us. There are fresh boards on some of the fence where it looks like he has broken out before. I'd take sword cane over bare hands, guys.
 
I love my pets. I would not choose one of them over me, or my children. Anyone who would, has a mental defect IMHO. If a dog were to attack me or my children while on a walk, I would look to end it as quickly as possible. Whether that meant stabbing or shooting it. If it was someone pet, then that someone should have been a responsible pet owner.

My mother had scars on her face she got as a little girl, and bore for the rest of her life, because someone didn't keep their St Bernard in their yard.

During my time in law enforcement I have been in contact with O.C. spray many times. It is not as effective on a determined attacker as one might think, and pretty much every time I have ever used it it sucked for me as much as the felon.

for me, blade>aerosol spray any time.

I don't doubt what you say but where do you live where former domesticated dogs become packs of vicious feral beasts?
