> Fritz wasn't the one who called the police. Yes, he was. > What would you have done if you'd seen that? I disagree with the ridiculous US weapons laws, but if a defensive weapon can't be drawn against an aggressive dog, when can it be drawn?

  You're right, I mixed him up with Evan Snow: "He grabbed the item in the holster, he removed it from the holster, and he pointed it directly at me,” Snow testified. http://missionlocal.org/2016/03/witness-says-alex-nieto-pointed-taser-at-him-before-shooting/ http://missionlocal.org/2016/03/witness-says-alex-nieto-poin... It's perfectly fine to draw a weapon to protect yourself from such a dog. But when the police show up and tell you to drop it, it's incredibly dangerous to refuse.
