(21,506 posts)Sure if you know what you are doing nothing wrong with a pipe bomb. If you don't they are deadly. We don't let people fuck around with pipe bombs because mistakes are deadly some places won't even let you screw around with firecrackers.
It is entirely possible pit's are no more aggressive than any other dog. The difference is most other dogs aren't capable of the same damage when they are aggressive.
You know this to be true you just refuse to admit it.
All dogs can be aggressive, some can give you light puncture marks when they become so and some can fuck you up for life.
I used to own an american bull dog given to me as a puppy by my neighbor. She was an incredible dog I loved her dearly and she loved us. She was a beast. One time I called her from where she was playing in a park and she ran right through a construction fence to get to me. Just blasted right through it. Another time she ran through my kid when she was chasing a ball my wife threw behind the kid just ran through him like he wasn't there flipped him in in the air as she went after the ball. She never showed any aggression ever to us.
One day a neighbors dog attacked her and she finished it. Took a chunk right out of the neighbors dogs chest. She didn't start it the other dog came after her but she sure as hell finished it. It wasn't her fault the other dog attacked her and she was just defending herself but her power was unreal.
When we had a baby on the way I had to rehome her I was not willing to take a chance with the baby. I wept that day but she has a good home on a ranch with a lot of land and is happy. Chances are she would never have hurt our kids she never showed aggression to any human ever but dogs get sick or have sore teeth or any number of things can go wrong with them that can change their tolerance level and something that was a fun play session the day before can become deadly the next day because the dog is in some sort of pain and you are unaware. Again not a chance I was willing to take even though that was probably one of the best dogs I ever owned.
When that dog attacked her I got a good look at how much damage she could actually do when threatened. No way I was going to take that chance with a baby no matter how small the risk.
