LOL, That sucks. Seriously though, who would try to shoot a snake. Wouldn't it have been easier to untie the dogs and bring them away from the snake? Also, what kind of parents leave a pistol somewhere that their kid can get it.

I love it. The kid is 16 and I am sure he was taught about guns at a young age. I am sure his father trusts him to know how to use it as well. And I am sure a bunch of people know he show himself with a gun lol. Lucky it was not worse. Guns are not so forgiving. But here is the best part...the kid had to use a gun. To shoot himself in the leg while aiming for the snake he would need to be directly over it. I doubt he was in of a gun if he was getting that close to the snake. A shovel would have worked just as well...or a rock. But it had to be a gun...thats how you texans work isnt it Arik? lol. sounded as big as a freight train...but he missed. You know the folks in the trailer homes always say the same thing after a tornado hits.
