whoa! biker shoots at ground to scare attacking dogs away. Then owner of loose dogs gets in truck and chases down biker and confronts him with a gun. Biker defending himself shoots man in self defense. Wow I know the feeling of being chased by loose dogs in the jemez. Also have had run ins with some of the ecentric types that live up there. This is ain't gonna be pretty.

That's freaking scary. I've never taken my gun with me while on the trail but maybe I should start.

Its a 5 shot 22 derenger type loaded with buckshot. It will make a attacking dog turn tail but only at 7 feet or less. It certainly would'nt kill someone. It fits perfectly in a gel flask holder for easy access. I would carry my 44 but the handle knocks my knee while I spin!
