If you are performing yard services near this vicious dog, you're presumably using a lawn mower or weed wacker with a loud engine. That means the neighbor, with dog, knows when you're there. He hears a BANG from a gun allowed by "common sense laws." He comes out to see his dog, dead.
Now where does the situation go from there? Does he just accept that you were protecting yourself? Will it be safe to ever return and work near that property again, or will you have to give up the job?
Assuming you'd like to keep the account, and avoid being stalked by an angry, crazy former dog owner, who now also owns a gun due to "common sense laws" you could instead drive down to the gun shop on Kalaikoa Street just down from the tennis stadium, and buy a currently legal canister of pepper spray with a long distance stream, rather than the spray.
If nothing else it will protect you while you wait for the gun laws to change.
I hope you stay safe terracore.
Just to clarify: I don't carry a gun outside the home, and my mowing services are voluntary (just trying to improve the road) Coming from Alaska, I'm familiar with OC sprays. They aren't very useful when you are surprised, (imagine unholstering the spray, staring at it while trying to figure out how to turn the gizmo that prevents accidental discharge, gauging the wind so you don't blind yourself, and aiming the spray... all while a dog has been already attacking you the entire time. I'm guessing it's impossible). But effective dog-stopping bludgeoning weapons (unholster and hit) are not legal under HI law, according to what a cop told me.
