Pitbull ban in Hawaii

[oink]

I had an interesting experience in my own S. Fl neighborhood last week. I was going for my 3 mile walk, which I had reinitiated again after my BP started skyrocketing. I had my son with me along with my beagel(on a leash). My son had to turn around at a point and my old beagle was pooping out so I gave the leash and my pepper spray to my son who headed back. On my way back from my further mid point, two young great danes came growling and barking along their fence. Note that this is a paved county road. I didn't worry until they came through a gate that had the boards spaced too widely. Now I have two growling great danes on my heals. Ignoring them didn't work. I'm now in a face off with these two large beasts that are now scaring the holy crap out of me as they seem intent on attack. Out pops my kel tec .380. Pepper spray is no longer an option as I sent it back with my son and beagle. I'm glad I have the .380 but I'm feeling badly under guned and I'm wishing I had something much bigger. Strangely, when I decided it was time to take action and pointed at the closest dog (2 feet max) they both backed off until I could get out of what they percieved as their territory. I don't know if they recognized a gun or sensed that I was fixing to try and kill them. So much for the walk lowering blood pressure. The next day on my walk I did have a larger bark and bite along with pepper spray but as I passed I saw that the owners had fixed the gap in the gate. The dogs were there but they couldn't get out. I really don't want to shoot a neighbors dog (same neighborhood but 1.5M away) and will try pepper spray first but holy crap I thought I was going to get killed. By the way, there isn't a way to avoid this house as there is essentially only one road although it changes names.
