I find myself constantly defending the breed because my dad bred them when we were young and they are great dogs if socialized and properly trained. Extremely loyal. With that said, I would never have one running loose...it's just ridiculous! Too many people are afraid of them and there is a leash law and you're right...for good reasons!! I was in my brother's kickboxing gym during a kids class and a couple of people came through with a pit bull...no leash! I was like are you kidding!? Couldn't believe it!! Way too many kids around...hello, leash? My brother had to tell them he couldn't run around the gym like that...durr! People don't always think before they do things...
