Have you ever used an Oxygen Lance?

Basically a piece of conduit filled with thermite( Magnesium and aluminum I think). You hook a oxygen line to it with a fitting and light it with a torch.

Closest thing there is to an actual light sword. Fun stuff,you can burn through concrete with it,as well as steel.

Go online and find an oldschool 10 guage pump duck gun. Buy a reloader and max load high brass shells with a mixture of 9 shot, 5 shot and number 4 buck. Load them so hot that the plastic splits at the brass on the majority of your spent shells. If the geyser of dirt that flies up when you shoot one of those evil bastards does not noticeably dim the sunlight in your yard... load 5 drams more powder.


Your welcome.

Just use a .22 with rat shot. No noise and easy to kill them with.

Since you're down with banning guns, I recommend ball bearings for your slingshot. Good luck defending against the home invasions.

A guy in my neighborhood shoots them with a pellet rifle.

If you live in Mobile, are you certain you can legally fire a shotgun?

It's probably illegal, but like every other place, if you don't admit to the cop that you did it and they didn't witness you do it, there's not much they can do other than ask you twenty questions.

I noticed your other stupid post earlier about semi-autos, I would 100 times rather have an 870 with extension tube than an AR with 50 round mags, you could wreck shop with the shotgun. Just makes you seem like you know nothing about weapons.

Lmao you have an opinion about banning guns but can't even figure out what shotgun shell to use against snakes at close range.

I bet the neighbors will fuss and cause trouble for him as witnesses.

I was wondering that as well. Black racers are often mistaken for cottonmouths because of the white under their lower jaw. I have about 5-6 of them in the landscaping at my home and when they pop out on top of a box holly guests and the wife freak out.

i had one get stuck in the drain in my flower bed about a month ago... evidently he was trying to get into the drain and got stuck... was dead when i discovered him, but still a shock to see it in my front yard... there's a small bayou across the street behind the neighbors' houses, but that bitch was in my yard...

and it was definitely a cottonmouth... lived on the bayou my entire life, and saw many more of them than i'd like to have, so there's no doubt as to what it was....

but luckily it was already dead...

When someone says there are "a lot of water moccasins in my yard," I always suspect we're talking about water snakes, rat snakes, etc.

My Aussie Shepherd kills venomous snakes but rarely finds a water moccasin. I can call her off rat and king snakes.
