Wasting a bullet on a little copperhead seems like overkill to me, I save the bullets for the water mocassins. Shovels work well on the copperheads.The last time there was a copperhead outside work, the redneck i work with, who happened to have 2 rifles propped up against his desk went out and shot it.
i'm not really comfortable with some of the leaving guns lying around, but i'm married so it ought to be obvious why.

We have a ton of loaded guns here and I grew up in a home with loaded guns. I'm uncomfortable without them.
