One evening a couple of years ago went riding my bicycle over by Shades State Park. I rode a few miles the turned around and heahed for home the way I had just come. When I rode past this house, I was on the other side of the county road, I heard a couple of dogs barking at me. I looked around at them and they were stopped at the edge of the yard, so I just kept riding. A few seconds later, they were almost up even with me. I yelled at them and sort of kicked at them, but one reached up and bit at my thigh just as I drew my Kahr 40 cal and shot toward the dogs. I was trying to not hit my leg, and due to the fact that I was completely out of control, my shot did not connect, The muzzle blast got the dogs off of me. By that time the owner and a friend came and wanted to know "what happened?" I was laying in the ditch tangled up in my bike, trying to ready my gun, my shorts were ripped and bloody, and my leg had fang marks in it. You tell me what happened. I am convinced that had I not benn carrying my gun, I would have been mauled by both dogs. Oh yeah, did I mention they were both Pit Bulls?
