Dennis I doubt there is an easier going breed than the Golden Retreiver at least the one we had. Yet I have heard him give the low rumble growl to a person as a friendly warning. Got my attention, think it did the person he meant it for. My guess is your lab, if he found his family showing real signs of fear or being threaten would surprise you.
They do make walking sticks with swords or knife points built in. Not sure of the quality. For our area the killings seem to be more on the line Joel told about or they knew each other. Not all, but most. About 5 years ago a good friend had a grand daughter and her small child kidnapped from the parking lot of a store her military husband and her brother went into to buy snacks and when they returned them and the car was gone. She was rapped and killed with the baby just tossed in a field. At least the state of NC had a quick find of the killer and a quick trial ( a matter of a few months not years). More than likely the piece of trash is still alive waiting on the execution so the bleeding hearts can, not sure what they can be. More trash to me. kt

YP, on the girl in Goergia, if she had a large dog and if she knew martial arts and she was killed, does it not make you wonder what it would have taken to protect her? It would seem if she was in as good of shape as a runner as she was suppose to be she could have even out ran the guy if he did not surprise her or lay trap or such. If any of those happen, would she been able to use the gun? Why would any woman do such by her self as she did amazes me. kt

When my wife and I were clearing our lot we often ran to town to pick up items or just for food during lunch. I often sat on the pickup tailgate with our Golden Retreiver while she went in a store. It amazed me how many ladies would come over smiling and pet him and talk. Without the dog those same ladies would have thought danger, man sitting in parking lot waiting for ???
Hey EW, since it is slow time of year for you, get a cute dog, park in large store parking lot and sit on tailgate petting the dog. No doubt you will soon be looked at by many ladies as they wonder what the frozen, snow covered bump is. Do send pictures.

U.S. Senate: We want people packing heat in parks
Posted: Friday, January 11, 2008 at 12:00 p.m.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Nearly half the Senate wants to allow people to carry guns into national parks and wildlife refuges. Forty-seven lawmakers signed a letter asking the interior secretary to lift restrictions that prevent citizens from carrying firearms onto lands managed by the National Park Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The National Park Service says the Reagan-era restrictions were put in place for public safety and to protect wildlife. A park official says before the rules were adopted, "people would go out and shoot wildlife." He says he's worried if people are packing heat in the nation's parks, it could lead to accidents. The lawmakers write in their letter that the current regulations "infringe on the rights of law-abiding gun owners" who want to take firearms on or across federal land. The office of the Interior secretary says officials are reviewing the letter.
