The straw that broke the camel's back for me was 2 full grown boxers that seemed to come out of nowhere and pin me against my garage door. I was mowing the lawn and had the garage door down, front door locked, and car doors locked. I was unarmed with the exception of a lawnmower. Upon realizing that I was about to be eaten I let go of the safety handle
which exhausted that as a weapon!The owner of the two dogs zipped down the street on his four wheeler and retrieved his animals and apologized. He was a nice guy considering my attitude and the fact that I would have killed his dogs if I had the means. I promised him that it would never happen again. For the next six months I mowed the yard with a 12 gauge discreetly sitting in my garage.
I own dogs and love them dearly...but could not blame someone at all for controlling them when I failed to do so.
It was on this day that I decided not be to held hostage by any man or animal ever again, especially in my own front yard
I am glad that I received this lesson without bloodshed from me or the dogs. I had a CHL license in my wallet for about 8 years before I decided to take it seriously. I am glad it didn't cost my life or the life of a loved one.Jason
