That was funny, but I am just like you all snakes are poison as far as I am concerned. Don’t like any of them.

Funny story! I can't believe that you can take your gun out and shoot it. Here in MA most people aren't allowed to have guns and definitely not allowed to shoot them in public.

Damn, the least you could've done after running him over is give him a chance to survive.

We live in the country and it's lawful to carry guns. not really supposed to shoot in our neighborhood but my neighbor is the mayor and he say's it's ok to shoot if you're shooting snakes.

I normally leave them alone as they eat rats/mice, etc..... but with the damn thing attacking me, and then my neighbor screaming the snake was coming her way I had to.
