Shooting a snake in town.

Fire. It's quiet. I guess your burn ban has been lifted hasn't it?

Being Independence Day weekend, folks will just think it is fireworks.

Fireworks and snakes. Ahhh, memories.

Taze it. Then report back, with video.

Isn't that what silencer; err suppressors are for?

This is another reason I will never move into town.

Just curious if it is legal to shoot a rattler in my back yard . . . I am in edmond.

Using a pellet gun won't help you out with the city. It's all illegal. Shooting an Airsoft gun is as illegal as centerfire gun. In a fit of civic responsibility once, I emailed the city attorney once to verify that an Airsoft gun was legal. His answer was that any firearm that uses gunpowder or compressed air cannot be discharged in the city and that they'd prosecute. So, if you choose to obey the law, no pellets, bullets or BBs in Edmond.

I saw on Animal Planet that a snake won't bite you unless you're alone or with someone.

Snakes can only strike about 2/3's of their body length. So if it's a 15 foot long rattleheadedcoppermocassin, don't get within 10 feet of it.

Are you in Edmond proper or on the outskirts?

Is it still legal to possess a hoe? My mom killed enough snakes with her garden hoe to fill up a truck.

Don't shoot it. You could do collateral damage (see above). A golf club works pretty well, and the irons make a pretty good snake stick if you know what you are doing.

Seeing many rattlers in Edmond these days?
