Granted, I've heard that in most cases, if you wound one then the others will scatter, but who knows if that's always the case?
Lately I've been avoiding going for walks because of this, which wasn't a big deal because it's been freezing outside anyway, but now Spring is coming, the weather is getting warmer, and I don't want to let fear keep me captive.
Now the problem is that I'm thinking that the low capacity may be a bigger problem than the cartridge, seeing as the Ruger LCP only holds 6 rounds in the magazine, and the same goes for my M&P40 Shield which I typically carry during warm weather.

Old guy here! Real long time ago a article was written about feral dogs in a gun mag. I think, repeat think it was written by Gary James.
I do not remember the area involved but there were lots of these dog packs around and they had a hell of a bad reputation.
A bunch of people were going to reducer their number significantly and the author wrote about what weapons to carry.
This was long before the AR style carbines and his suggested load out was to carry as big of capacity long gun as you could. His choices back then was the M1 carbine or some lever action rifles. Then he suggested carry a couple pistols with one of them being a Browning HP as backup. He finished up with also carry a Bowie type knife.
Like I said this was long ago but I do remember some details OK.
