We used to have them around our pool all the time and I'd immediately run to get my pistol and I'd shoot them. That's probably terrible but I couldn't rest easy knowing they were still slithering around those bushes.

And in my defense, two of the three that I shot at my mom's house were Copperheads (the other was a non-venmous King Snake), which can easily kill you, so they had to go. My step dad would still get mad about it all the same, though. He's just out of his damn mind and catches them with his bare hands and puts them back in the woods, allowing them to come back in an hour. So I preferred to shoot them. I figured if they didn't return back to all their little snake friends in a timely manner then the others might get the message.
I might go to hell for that, I'm not sure yet.
