Oh my, last time anyone carried heat while riding was back in the Jessie James era. I would not recomend carrying heat while riding. If it,s dogs and other animals that have you concerned, pepper sprey, or cold water, or perhaps an air horn will do the trick. Also if a dog begins to chase you, get the fire number of the place the dog came from, then carrying a cell phone, or a roll of quarters, place a call to the police, and notify them of the problem. Leash laws are for the most part nation wide. And action by the police toward the dog owner can and will be taken by the police. If it people that have you concerned, well in anyattempt to draw down on the acusting person, they can use the heat on you. That would ruin my tour thats for sure. If confronted by agresive people, just give them what they want. Now people in general, are pretty freindly as it is to cyclist. For many reasons. So the concern for riding John Wayne style really is not needed. Plan your route, get the emergency numbers carry them with you. Along with change for payphones, and if so inclined, carry a cell phone. Along with sprey., or a horn. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.
