What I use is a .22 caliber High Standard two shot derringer. Very light. Fine varmint shot in the 1st barrel, slug in the 2nd, just in case. The shot load stings feet and with the noise it's always worked. I got tired of spending lots of money on sprays. Yes, I am licensed to carry in just about every state.

I like to think that bear spray would require no license, be less lethal (a goal?), be just as effective, be cheaper, and be lighter to carry, but I haven't tried it yet. I've had enough close calls in rural areas to seriously consider it.

        When David Couper was police chief in Madison he routinely
    carried his service revolver to handle situations like this.
    Following his example, I sometimes carry. One time while biking in
    Lafayette County a woman sat on her front porch and watched her
    dog come after me. She did nothing. Dismounted, placed the bicycle
    between me and the dog, and drew a weapon, telling her I would
    shoot unless she called the dog off. She did. Situation resolved.

        Hello all,

        This is just a heads up to keep a lookout for two loose pit
        bulls at the address below when riding outside Evansville. I
        was heading east into town last Sunday when one of them got a
        bead on me and made a beeline through the yard, ignoring its
        yelling owner. At the last second it flipped up and out of
        the way of oncoming highway traffic and was grabbed by its
        owner and dragged inside. In the meantime I'd crashed into
        the gravel trying to step on it and avoid the dog and the
        swerving oncoming car.

        The owner came out and apologized but I would expect that
        these dogs are out loose in the yard  quite often.
