It's like playing toss with a hand grenade. You CAN, and it's totally fine. I'm sure you could for years. It's the liability, when you can use a tennis ball and have zero worries, with essentially the same results.
You have the dog a decade, he's a wonderful companion, ONE time his instincts shift and something happens. Now that poor guy is punished for just fulfilling his nature. Not to mention the fallout. The neighbors rat looking dog gets hurt, a family child, some litigious neighbor gets bit....
Not worth the liability, for me. If it has teeth, it can bite. I had a wonderful cocker spaniel as a kid. One day he attacked me out of nowhere. Turns out he was riddled with cancer and couldn't hold back the pain my love was causing him anymore....

And there’s very nice pitbulls out there, I still wouldn’t recommend people go get one.
