Isn't it lovely to live in a gun-free zone like MA? That mountain lion would already be at the taxidermist's if he showed up anywhere in Texas!
MA isn't gun free!!! Regulations yes, but not gun free
It's kinda funny you should mention that. If you follow Newton Road (site of the signs) south about two miles, it's the site of an imfamous shoot out a few year back (2000 or so?) Some guy did a pump and bolt in a stolen car at a Mobil station in Littleton, the Littleton PD followed him into Acton. Prep wipes out on a turn and the cop corners him. The Perp gets out and shoots into the cruiser six (!) times missing the cop but putting out all the glass in the cruiser. (Now, remember, Acton is a really boooooring suburb.) The cop manages to get out of the cruiser and subdue the moron. If he had tried that in Texas, any one of next ten passing motorist would have emptied a couple of clips into him.
Three 'S' time. Shoot, shovel, shut up.
You have no Mountain lions living in Texas? How sad.
News Flash! Wild Animal found still living!
My point is, many freepers turn the existence of big game as some kind of blasphemy or something. I sure the hell hope not. The fact that mountain lions and bears occasionally wander into someone's yard is a ~good~ sign for this planet, not a bad one. Yes, they should be hunted and managed and problem animals will need to be moved or killed, but this is part of life... and extermination is certainly not my goal. Is it yours?
Gun free? More like Gun-lite.
