I live way out in the country in rural TN and had one chase me while I was riding my bike once. Good for me I wasn’t trying to climb one of these hills at the time or it might have caught me.

Pistol sounds better to me. How do you jog with a pistol? Freaking thing could go off while you’re jogging.

Wouldn’t take much. One breath underwater and biting won’t help.

They’re nocturnal. Seeing one roaming around in broad daylight is generally a dead-giveaway that its rabid.

Shows you how much I know about guns. I suppose there’d be a way to strap it securely to your body so it doesn’t flap around or bog you down while your jogging

One of these is small enough to hang on a string around your neck. They only have 2 shots and very little range but they would kill a raccoon or a large dog

OK.

I would not enjoy a pistol ‘knockin’’ at my side while running. It would have to be ‘strapped down.’

That being said, pistols have safety’s that prevent them from firing without the SAFETY being turned off.

BTW, just purchased 300 rounds today. Not one of them will be fired while jogging unless...

Cue “American Woman” by the Guess Who.
That should be her theme song if she goes on any talk shows.

unless...

...you met up with a crazed raccoon, a crazed Bernie supporter, or a crazed Leftist maniac. Come to think of it, the crazed raccoon was probably a Bernie supporter.

Hmmm - maybe I need to learn how to shoot a gun...

Killing with your bare hands...that’s some next level stuff. I’m gonna guess that girl comes out a little salty.

I’ve seen lots of raccoons out during the day ... peacefully minding their own business.

In a residential neighborhood in the middle of summer in the middle of the day I saw a skinny raccoon walking around in a wonky kind of way. I called animal control and reported it to a lazy sounding employee. She did not seem very concerned but said she would report it.

The raccoon was walking towards an apartment complex where I knew that children played outside. So I followed the raccoon in the hopes that someone from animal control would show up. The raccoon did not take kindly to me tailing it and turned the tables and started following me. It creeped me out. I left the vicinity and never saw animal control.

I was Uber driving a couple of nights ago and went to the Disneyland Hotel. There was a raccoon hanging around the entrance. Apparently he hangs around there and has done so for a couple of years. People (tourists) feed him.
