I take it you jest?

Because if not, I'm getting a shotgun license.


As someone who has lived in environments with dangerous predators,
and who has experience with shotguns, that is, at best, clueless.
If you really want to **** off a large animal, pepper it with shot.

There is a simple solution to protecting yourself: don't be an
arsehole. We didn't carry guns for protection against animals
even in the less developed parts of Africa in the 1950s, or even
the 1900s. It was unnecessary. And the animals there were MUCH
more dangerous.
