I have been doing some thinking and was wondering how you would or if you even should draw your gun while walking the dog. I have a pit bull and a german shepherd so the chances of me having to draw while i have either of them at the end of a leash are slim to none but it could happen. Say a guy with a knife tries to rob me and i see him getting closer should i let my dogs take care of it and risk them getting hurt or should i just draw and fire? If i let my dog take care of the threat and see my dog getting stabbed or shot should i shoot or run? If everything works out and my dogs take care of the threat without me pulling my gun or pepper spray and the bad guy has to get stitches caused by a dog bite would i get sued? Can my dogs be seen as a deadly weapon and cause me jail time because i let my dog attack the bad guy instead of shooting him? Should i take my dogs to the range to get used to the sound of a gun going off? Am i asking too many questions? Any and all input is appreciated.
