"No one person can control two pitbulls on leashes at the same time. Anyone who thinks they can is a moron." -- W. Zardus
Why do people say things like this? It's one thing to have a strong opinion, and it's another to say sweeping things like this in a public forum. Come on. "Maryland is considering banning them completely But the owners are as obnoxious and as repugnant as the dogs and their lobby is very tenacious..." This too. I can tell you are serious about your hatred for these dogs, but if you want to have a real discussion about this, there's no need to be rude. I do not care more about dogs than people. But, if I am seen walking my two dogs on two leashes, at the same time, I do not want to be lynched on the street for being "a moron."

That means your hands wont be free and then both of you are at the mercy of the dog. If you have no weapon you have got to get behind the attacking dog and lift BOTH back legs up off the ground. Almost all dog experts will tell you that. If you can acccomplish that, it doesn't mean you are safe and can relax !! You have to continue to watch the direction the dog turns and keep moving away from it while you continue holding the back legs off the ground. It might be useful to look into a stun gun if you don't have the strength or courage to defend your child. Pitbulls are completely out of hand in almost every state. In poor neighborhoods they are the dogs of choice because they have huge litters and they are frequently given awy for free. They end up in the wrong hands on a much too regular basis. The breed is completely overbred and they need to be banned in entire states, not one town at a time. Maryland is considering banning them completely But the owners are as obnoxious and as repugnant as the dogs and their lobby is very tenacious. Some know-nothing bleeding hearts are more worried about dogs than people. They need to start taking these crimes much more seriously in every state. When your dog creates mayhem the owner should do serious time. The main problem as I see it, is that people in the suburbs don't give a damn about what happens to people living in cities. Once they insulate themselves form the problem they stop caring about it.
