Pits should be socialized because like Rottweilers they are extremely loyal dogs and if you dont they get all overprotective and paranoid.

Tell her to get a trainer who can help her socialize her dog so he doesnt freak out and bite someone.

Using dogs for protection is a bad idea and immoral.

Just having a dog already makes you more protected, since they act as an alarm system. But other than that, get a gun if you really need to be protected. At least a gun can't make the wrong call on it's own. You shouldn't allow any living thing to become aggressive without attempting intervention.

You know whats fucked though is how many people own guns that are legit less qualified to weild the power to maim or kill someone than some dogs are. Its not a huge percentage but its far larger than ideal. At least speaking for the US and Canada as well for that matter.

Why would you subject other dogs and people to this extraordinarily high-risk situation?

Yeah. It's lose/lose. In a perfect world no one would have to feel they need protection. But Im just trying to figure out a placeholder solution in a very imperfect world. Which is, just don't turn a living thing into a tool of destruction. At least a gun can be tucked away easier and has no chance of running off on it's own. Plus, Id rather people destroy innocent guns than innocent dogs during their witch-hunts when they're scared and paranoid.
