  Actually, I agree with you.  
I would change your wording a little though.  How about this:  "It would be foolish and dangerous to take a large breed untrained dog out into public 
without using a method to control him."  Choke or prong collars aren't mandatory.  Gentle leaders and no-pull harnesses are equally effective.   
The question I have, though, is why take a large, 
untrained dog out into public in the first place?  Why not train the dog?  It can be done, you know.  And, it can be done using positive methods.
