“Where the dangers are greatest, funny thing, the expertise tends to be greatest.”

If you really believe that, try the various gun totin’ members of the Armed & Rangerous making a career of “managing” predators like puma, bear, wolves.

If you can “hold aim” for an extended length of time, let alone long enough for some ‘animal control’ goober to arrive:
1. “Hold aim”? Do you give lessons? I can’t hold on target for long, and snakes are capable of moving out of sight rather quickly when they so decide.

2. If you are able to “hold aim” that long, do you hold lunch in the other hand? ;-)

So a trained snake wrangler is "some goober," but a trigger-happy cop is better able to handle the situation? There's a dead kids whose family will disagree.

1. “Hold aim”? Do you give lessons? I can’t hold on target for long,

Cops in standoffs with armed suspects keep a bead on him, often for hours, without nodding off.

and snakes are capable of moving out of sight rather quickly when they so decide.

That's why you get the civilians out of the house and stabilize the situation. It's not an acceptable excuse for the sloppy use of deadly force.

2. If you are able to “hold aim” that long, do you hold lunch in the other hand? ;-)

Nah. If you have to break for lunch, you let another cop keep tabs on things. No other cop? Well, if it isn't important enough to call for backup, it isn't important enough to fire two shots in the presence of bystanders.
