He came straight for me, yelling that he was going to kill me for killing his dog. I leveled my pistol at him, told him to lay on the ground with his hands behind his head, which after a moment he did, still cursing. With is girlfriend still making an fuss, I called the park office and waited almost 20 minutes for them to show up. The dog made an awful noise for about that whole time and finally died right when they arrived. After they questioned us all (I let them know I was fearful for my life and safety, of course) and took a look at my shoe and foot, I was asked If I wanted to press charges. The couple went ballistic at this, but I declined to do so. I also declined medical treatment. Shortly after as I was leaving I heard one of the Rangers tell the couple they would have to remove the dog carcass when they leave of get ticketed for littering. They offered them a plastic garbage bag to do so.
This is how it would most likely go down if your semi-retarded untrained bully mix decided it wanted to take a chomp on a legally armed person legally enjoying themselves in a public space. If disagree then more power to you, and good luck with continuing to temp fate with your animal. Better keep it away from me and my family though.
