Shooting a snake
I was outside in the front of my house waiting for someone. So I picking some weeds and I was about to reach for another and I saw a snake. He wasn't coiled up but i'd say 30% of him was in the air looking at me moving pretty quickly at him. So I was like ahhh fuck and lol threw some crab grass at him. I had my gun on my and I took it out from my waistband and backed away and he was still coming at me but much slower since I was moving away. My buddy pulls up around this time with his g/f and 3 year old daughter in the car. So I didn't want to shoot the snake with a kid other people in case something bad happened.
Now I'm pretty sure you can't discharge firearms in my city, but would I have gotten in any trouble? Oh btw I know lil to nothing about snakes, but I believe it might have been a garter or garden snake. It was little big for G snake but idk. The only reason I'm asking is because I don't think there poisonous enough to seriously injuire me so would it be grounds for shooting it?

Re: Shooting a snake
theres really only 2 snakes local to you that you need to worry about. the copperhead and the rattlesnake. the rattlesnake is going to let you know he is there first.
could have been a milk snake or a corn snake or a black snake. was he in the shade? or was he sunning himself? snakes are best to keep around for pest control, just as are bats.If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.

Re: Shooting a snake
Snakes are more afraid of you then you are of them ... just move away or push it away with a stick. If you live in a town, discharged your firearm, and someone called the police then more than likely you would have had some 'splaining to do.

Re: Shooting a snake
Why would you shoot a snake? It's completely unnecessary.
