With all due respect,
This is sick. On many levels.

This is the West my friend, not Boston or Sacremento. There are places that are not civilized and prim and proper that everyone has to deal with.

When I am at my weekend place if I step out of the door and head to the car, in the summer there is a very good chance that there will be a rattlesnake somewhere within 10 feet. We usually deal with it using a shovel or hoe, but there are a lot of times where it would be nice to have a "hog leg" strapped on our hip.

You may not need one in your nice big city environment, but we are a different world out here. You do as you want, and we will do what we NEED to do to preserve our way of life. Our legislators voted as the public asked and we now can do this.
