Hot Under the Collar

I politely inform these sorts of dog owners that if their uncontrolled dog gets close enough to me to kick, I will do so.

Exactly, the owner gets the pepperspray first however when a dog charges me ,like my neighbor allowed his dog to do one too many times, the battle is on. A dog may not know the leash laws but an agressive dog to me is a threat. i guess those stitches and scars on my sisters face when i was a child left me with a small "fear". My legs having being bitten while doing nothing but riding my bike delivering newspapers(remember those days) kind of seared it in my brain. Anyway back to the wacky neighbors dog, one day while visiting my mailbox i took with me a pitchfork. When said asshole neighbor decided to allow his dog to charge me so he could get a laugh up came said fork, dog stopped in his tracks and it hasn't happened since. I like dogs, cats rabbits, so Im not a mean person, just frightened. sometimes....

It's called pepper spray. I use it all the time on dogs off leash. One has a right to protect ones self.

Wait... So what youre saying is there are self rightous douchebags who dont think the rules apply to them in Orange County?

C'MON!

SERIOUSLY?

This happens all over California. I encounter these d-bags whenever I walk my dog at a park. Signs everywhere stating that dogs "must be on a leash" yet I come across, at least, one a-hole who feels that the rules do not apply to them. And when I call them out on it, I'm the jerk. D-bags are everywhere.
