I’ve carried for a long time.  Decades, actually.  There has only been one time to date where I felt I might need to draw my weapon.  At the time I was president of a neighborhood association and had to visit each household in order to conduct some neighborhood business.  One household owned a dog than was less than friendly.  As I walked back out of the driveway the dog attacked me from behind, tearing a chunk out of my jeans as well as out of the back of my thigh.  I spun around to confront the dog.  It appeared to want to attack me again.  I told the owner to take control of his dog and that should the dog attempt to attack me again I would shoot him, as I rested my hand on the grip of my pistol, still holstered, concealed beneath my shirt.  He did and I didn’t.  But I limped home bleeding and bruised.
