short-barrel shotgun my @ss! for a gopher? PLEASE!
Wasn’t me....
Assault gophers. SWAT teams take 'em out on sight, usually with an HK.
That’s what I was thinking. A .22 or even a BB/pellet gun is sufficient. Hell, my 76 yr old uncle uses a bullwhip on snakes and varmints like this.
Hey, the guy was climbing around on a rock with his finger on the trigger.
So he’s not the brightest bulb out there to begin with.
Rule # 1: Do not put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to shoot the gun.
