We live on 5 acres in the country and I never imagined that I might have to use my gun walking around in my own yard. Tell all of your wives that having a gun on you can save your life and your children. We have to keep our guns close when we are just walking around the land. We have bobcats, coons that come on the back porch but 2 days ago it was a battle with a large snake. Copperheads love my yard and I am grateful I know how to shoot. My sons are 7 and they almost walked right on top of the snake. Those snakes hide well. Now I think I will get a lot of target practice in my own yard.
