I know I am not. Even though I was alert and expecting
something to happen, I was too slow.
I was out riding my mobility scooter on the Olympic
Discovery Trail today.I was going slowly down a steep
grade when I saw a man with a large black dog on a leash
coming towards me. I slowed and stopped before I got to them.
I talked with the man for a minute then started on my way,
instantly the dog attacked me and bit and tore my jacket.
At that point the man shocked the dog and it released it's grip.
The man asked if I had been bit and I showed him the torn seam,
the hole and tear caused by the dogs teeth and the dog slobber.
The man didn't apologize or or offer to reimburse me for my jacket. That's when he told me about the shock collar. I left at that point.
As I look back at the incident I came to this conclusion, open
carrying would not have helped as where the dog bit my jacket is
where my pistol would have been had I been open carrying instead
of concealed carrying (I was planning to stop at Costco on the
way home).
Apparently I need to carry a pistol on each side of my
body in case my primary carry pistol is not accessible.
Even though I was alert the dog was much faster than I.
Also Costco trips need to be separate trips from any other trips.
