If you have a concealed weapons permit, more power to you. I could not hit a coyote with a pistol and doubt if my 22 hollow point rifle rounds would take one down. And walking with a Winchester type rifle with my pooch is probably not a good idea. And it takes two hands for a slingshot.

Aren't there bear alarms or some such that scare animals away? Of course, that would also terrify the dog you are walking.

I found this article. ​How To Keep Your Pets Safe From Coyotes
