Truth. Open carry is for fools, cosplayers, those who want to intimidate others, and people making a political point. But I repeat myself.

If you have to carry, do so concealed and in a proper holster not dropped in a pocket or tucked into a waist band. Had an idiot almost drop his pistol twice in the store I work at that had kids in it a few weeks ago because he kept sticking it in his sweatpants waistband. I gave him a plastic bag and asked him to keep it in that until he got his pants situation fixed. Note the elastic was so bad off the pants keep slipping down, and he was freeballing. I had to use some brain bleach to get rid of that memory.

It's also one of the stupidest pieces of advice I've ever seen.

I'm a gun person. I carry every time I leave my house. I'm serious about it too and I don't slack on it.

What you described above really doesn't meet the requirements for use of deadly force against someone else's dog until the dogs started attacking each other or you.

The better option honestly is pepper spray. Yes, sometimes you need to be able to resolve the situation with violence. Proper use of pepper spray won't permanently harm dogs but it can make them fight or flight, so once it happens, gtfo.
