Good kick. I would have tried to stand on the muhphuckas head and jump up and down on him. So being that its a pit bull you are justified everytime. What do you think anyone else would do?...The same thing you did, whatever is neccesary.(sp)

Edit: If 40cal is on the hip consider a dog shot, especially a pit. I had one and he tried me once, i pointed the pistol at him. He calmed that sh!t down ASAP. Then I had to put him down after he bit mom dukes.
