JFITZ,
I'm sure gunfire in a residential neighborhood is nothing to bother the cops about in some places. Here in Hawaii it's illegal and dangerous. I've had shot land on my roof, and most geezers I know have absolutely no idea where their rounds are headed or how far they will travel when let loose.
I can't actually believe you would insult me for stating a somewhat "tongue in cheek" opinion about using lethal and dangerous weapons for animal control when there are safer, and less bothersome alternatives.
(traps, ammonia squirt guns, fences, and other non lethal devices mentioned earlier).
I'm not against guns. They are for self defense, not animal control. Why don't you look into where and when firearms are allowed to be discharged before referring to me as a "meddlesome busybody".
I am a combat veteran, rated expert with the M-16 and .38 revolver.
I've never had to shoot an animal, though I may have inadvertently blown some up on occasion.
Stillhope; I would appreciate it if you wouldn't echo my posts, thank you.
