I would license. The first step in reversing BSL is by showing your county/city/town that owners of pit bull-type dogs are responsible. This doesn't only inlcude socializing/training your dog, but obeying leash laws and other animal laws/ordinances. If your laws/ordinances require a dog to be licensed, then follow through and do this in a timely manner. Your dog's breed is not banned in your area currently, so registering as a responsible bully breed owner will show them that one more owner is responsible. Plus, if you incorrectly submit information on a government document it could get you into some seriously hot legal water, as well as basically screw up the responsible owner's reputations in your area that are trying to do it the honest way.

I completely agree and have my dog licensed as a pit bull (she came from a shelter) for all the above reasons cited. In the event that a breed ban goes into effect and there is a grandfather law, your licensing record(s) for your dog will be proof of how long you've had your dog. If there is no allowance for dogs to be grandfathered in, it probably wouldn't matter if your pit bull was licensed as a poodle because they will most likely go by visual identification (i.e. someone's opinion).
