IF the dog locks on and can be pinned into a relatively immobile position, only then would a shot be considered.
Ok, so... you wait for the pitbull to have your childs face in his mouth? Are you sure?

when you made this statement were you assuming the gun was drawn and ready (Waiting for the safe shot) or holstered waiting for the safe shot?

An attack, if it comes, is going to happen very fast.

Who let the goddamn Brady bunch in here? You sound just like the anti-gun whackjobs now.
Worried about ricochets?
I don't mean to offend you, but I am curious as to which is true: is a pitbull a nice little puppy that can be warded off with a few well-placed kicks, or is it a raging demon that can only be stopped with multiple barrages of heavy-caliber artillery?The fact that 1 shot will not stop an attacking pit is something I agree with. So you intend you take multiple shots on a running/jumping pitbull, with owner in tow, before it gets to you. Continue shooting while it's pulling you around. Not smart with your child nearby.
Thrown into this mix is the simple fact that almost all dog charges--even from pits--are bluffs. An untrained dog is a fear biter who will nail your backside or calf muscles if you run. If you stand your ground they will usually be perplexed and wary, growling and sniffing around then leaving. I've had more run ins than I can easily remember on my bike, and the dogs always back off when I stop.
Ohio for one. Show me in the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) where I have a LEGAL DUTY to let a dog bite me because it's on a leash when it's doing so?Which states?

Nope. I'd give up every part of my body to keep it away from my child, including both hands. I would not fend off the dog with one hand while the other is on a gun underneath a coat.Ok, so... you wait for the pitbull to have your childs face in his mouth? Are you sure?
Show me where a single pit bull has killed 2 able bodied adults and a "child." Did OP even mention how old his son is? For all we know his son is a 30 yr-old football star. Also you need to define attack. The vast majority of (pet) dog attacks against humans involve a lot of barking and growling and a single bite. Then the dog lets go and continues barking. It's the dog showing that he is serious and is not an intent to kill the victim....If some research on documented attacks by large dogs is done...one will find that they are almost impossible to stop bare-handed....
And who's going to stand between the dog and the child after the dog incapacitates YOU?As I already said, you would need to get your child back away from danger. You stand between the dog and the child.
