[lbo-talk] TX gov. blasts coyote with laser-guided .380 Ruger

[Alan Rudy]

I'm suggesting that shooting snakes probably isn't the best way to deal with
them... particularly because if you have time to stop jogging, pull your gun
out, aim your laser and shoot a fairly still snake then the snake's not much
of a threat in any event... if you don't have time, and its actually a
poisonous snake (are there lots of poisonous snakes in Austin? I really have
no idea), then its probably bitten you already and shooting it off you or
thinking that you're going to be collected enough after being bitten by a
venomous snake to shoot it - particularly if you know you're already afraid
of them - is just stupid.
