Not sure if I was more amused or irritated by this. I was coincidentally looking at my county's handgun laws, here is an exception clause (my capitalization for emphasis):


---------
(b) Miscellaneous Exceptions. None of the provisions of this
article shall apply to law enforcement officers or members of the armed forces acting in the line of duty; to the shooting or killing of any dangerous or destructive ANIMAL OR REPTILE when necessary to protect life or property; to the taking of birds or animals pursuant to G.S. Chapter 113, Subchapter IV, as it is from time to time amended, or pursuant to a lawfully issued federal permit; to the use of firearms for defense of person
or property; or the use of firearms pursuant to lawful directions oflaw enforcement officers.

Are reptiles not animals? I wonder why they singled out reptiles?
