I never looked at it from a class perspective. In my part of California, we have mountain lions, bears and other things that easily knock you from the top of the food chain. We have wild pigs and tusked boar hogs that, I poo poo you not, are as big as full grown cows. There are so many goddamn deer that I've hit one with my car an average of once every four years.

poo poo, I think I'm talking myself into buying a gun...

Even an ornery raccoon can gently caress you up, bringing a gun to protect your soft pathetic flesh in the wilderness just seems prudent

Just avoid the Harold Fish type situations

I forgot to mention the badgers and venomous reptiles. I was on a hike up by Big Sur, and I counted 7 rattlesnakes in one day.

Rattlesnakes are loving terrifying if you actually run into them on the reg. So are cotton mouths.

Is arming yourself against snakes a thing tho? Because isn't the interval between "hmm i've gotten into a fight with a snake" and "oh no it bit me" about one millisecond. If you can actually see the snake in a advance you can go around it instead of shooting it?

It really depends. If you're hiking, yeah, you can probably just avoid it.

But if you work in a place (I've ran into tons of poisonous snakes beekeeping and at a fishery) then yeah, you're gonna need a way to kill the suckers.



I've also heard utility workers run into them all the time too.

Also, there are poisonous snakes that will come after your rear end. Like, actually chase you down and kill you.

I went hiking out to Calvert Cliffs in Maryland, to get there you walk a few miles on a wood walkway in a marsh. Theres was a (venomous) copperhead about every 5 feet on the way out. It was early and cool on the way in so they weren’t out yet. There was no other way out, snakes don’t bother me but that was terrifying

No it's not you doofus. I live in rural VA and an absolute assload of poor people out here are hunting because it's cheap meat. These dudes hunt deer, turkey, ducks, bear, and so on.

Yeah for the most part its how extremely poor rural people are able to eat and supplement their income. However, I'll will agree that rich suburban "rednecks" where I live in Maryland at least have turned hunting into a who has the most expensive best equipment dick waving contest.

Sure but to say hunting in America like that dude did is just incredibly dumb. Hunting is a pretty big part of life across rural America and if you think that enough of those people are "rich rednecks" to say that's the primary hunting demographic then you've got no grasp at all on the level of poverty in this country.

Wanna underline the fact that I'm not going after you here though, but godamn was that a dumb post by Blast of Confetti.

Rich rednecks are mostly posers, and a very small part of that demographic. Besides welders and petroleum workers, most are just working folks trying to make ends meet.

I need a snake gun, in that it's a gun that fire snakes.

Better yet, a gun that shoots darts filled with snake venom.
