Wow' windcrasher, not really sure what your issue is. We are trying to discuss safety concerns here with an OP who has raised a legitamet question. I'm all sure we are all seeking to operate in a safe and legal way. In today's life it is litigement to consider potential threats both human and animal. The human side is so very sad. The animal is part of their normal existence, but we still need to be prepared. Why spend time judging instead of helping? Help the OP find a way to feel prepared without having to move beyond their comfort point.
