Pit Bulls were bred to fight. I have seen some of the sweetest Pits and some of the meanest. My neighbor was jogging in the neighborhood and attacked by a Rottweiler, multiple leg injuries and the city made the owner destroy the dog. He bought another one and it attacked my wife walking with my daughters lab. Fortunately no injuries. Neighbors don't necessarily learn. My wife now carries a Sjambok when she walks that dog and this was the incident that convinced her to get a LTC. Midway USA sells Sjambok as does ColdSteel. They are not considered clubs and are legal now.

Since the governor signed the bill allowing clubs, etc., I would guess that carrying a baton would be legal as of 9/1/2019. I would hate to kill a dog but don't mind beating the dickens out of it if need be. Pepper spray may or may not work. As a former meter reader in my youth I battled many a dog. The trick is to have something in one hand to let it bite onto and with the other hand and an appropriate weapon beat it over the head. My problem now is that I am careless and when I go for the mail I don't carry anything. Need to change that.
