>>382501>Would I be a total asshole if I started bringing a knife with me and shanking these dogs?If you were in danger of injury you wouldn't be, but good luck getting the cops to believe that.
Better to bring a walking stick and pepper spray and you need to call the cops _immediately_
when attacked by a dog, otherwise the dog owner will play the "my dog didn't do nut'n!" routine
and it'll be a case of he said / she said.
