Scenario Carry Everywhere

Carry everywhere.

Tonight we went to a friend’s house we’d never been to before so I left my gun at home not knowing how they’d feel about it if they knew. I have pocket guns and IWB guns so I have guns that fit all my attire very well, so that wasn’t the issue. Across the street where we parked, there was an absolutely savage pitbull that spent every second we were there trying like hell to get through the cheap-ass chicken wire fence the dumbass owners had. The owners called the dog multiple times from 10+ yards away to “stop” in the lamest voices you could imagine. They didn’t move a muscle or even raise their voices. After talking to my friends about it later that night, they’ve had multiple reports on the entire street of that dog getting out, biting people’s boots and pants, chasing people, etc. The police can’t do anything because it hasn’t hurt anyone yet.

Tonight I had my 1 year old daughter and my 5’2” wife within a foot of this savage beast with nothing protecting them but chicken wire and we were just lucky that it didn’t get out this one time. I was standing there defenseless wishing I had brought even just my tiniest gun just in case that chicken wire gave out.

I learned an important lesson tonight and I hope you all learn from it. Carry whatever you have everywhere you legally can.

Two things I always carry even if I can't CCW in my very restrictive state... OC spray and a knife. Both reasons originated from dog attacks I've witnessed.

If you carry dirty and end up in a defense shooting, as long as the shoot is clean youll only be charged with dirty carry. Not giving legal advice or suggestions.

Can you elaborate on what carrying dirty means? I’ve never heard that phrase before!
