A dog here almost became filled with lead today, I was out in my yard with
my 3 year old son, doing a little yard work. Luckily, my siter in law was
close to my son when from around the garage came a pit bull at full charge.
After my siter in law grabbed up my son the dog took off after another
couple walking thier dog, it was then that I retrieved my .44 with every
intention of dispatching that animal. The dog was still roaming as I was
cleaning up our garden tools and I was ready. I saw the dog take off after
another person walking his dog. I kept cleaning up and went in. I have not
seen that dog before or again. But if that dog had come near my yard it
would have been hauled off in a bag!

Your lucky to have that option, in the UK they effectively banned "pit
bulls" and "handguns", now there are lots of both illegally owned and
misused. As far as I'm concerned anything that looks like a p/b, p/b
cross, staffie or similar is *probably* now owned for image "I'm 'ard,
f*ck you", not for the love of the breed its self, though as always
there are a few exceptions, but the generalisation might just keep you
safe, never trust one, even if its not being aggressive YET.

BTW the lab is the most common biter in the uk, except a lab usually
only nips when really pushed by stupid kids 'cause they think they're
soft...
