When we lived in Washington State, L met a mountain biker that rode all the time way off the beaten path. In that state, one can obtain a concealed weapons permit, and this gent carried a .357 magnum revolver on his backwoods trips. One time, he said, he was confronted by a pack of hungry wild dogs. He was on their agenda for their next meal. He saved his butt by shooting one of them, which sent the rest off quickly. Could have been a vert bad ending.
