Philadelphia, guns, and crime

Posted by David Hardy · 29 May 2008 10:08 AM

Howard Nemerov has this to say.

With regards the previous post -- desert dwellers eradicate rattlers. Other reptiles are welcome (they tend to control the packrats, for one thing). Had to swerve to dodge a Gila Monster the other day (only the second one I've ever seen). Last week I killed a rattler -- INSIDE the house.

UPDATE: the room he got into was a studio, where the door is often open, so he probably just slithered on in. No pics, since he was way behind some stuff, with only a bit of tail visible. I couldn't whack him, nor open fire without destroying stuff I wanted, and probably leaving birdshot ricocheting all over. Force to improvise, I sprayed insecticide in and, when he stuck his head up, gave him a good shot.

I then left because there is a limit to my indiscretion. Next day, no sign, figured he departed. Two days later noticed an unpleasant smell, and my nose led to me to the body. Uh... not a sight worth of photos.

If you are killing rattlers INSIDE the house there are serious problems with your weatherstripping!

Its a criminal problem. The Mayor has a mental illness called Liberalism that has affected his reasoning.
He thinks removing firearms from law abiding citizens will get the weapons out of the hands of criminals.
Criminals and Gang Bangers could make a huge contribution by keeping their fingers off those triggers!

You killed a buzzworm in the house?

No pics?
