This is and is not normal here

Perry told The Associated Press on Tuesday he needed just one shot from the laser-sighted pistol he sometimes carries while jogging to take down a coyote that menaced his puppy during a February run near Austin.

Perry said he will carry his .380 Ruger — loaded with hollow-point bullets — when jogging on trails because he is afraid of snakes. He'd also seen coyotes in the undeveloped area.

When one came out of the brush toward his daughter's Labrador retriever, Perry charged.

We do have coyotes and they are often bad business. However, most of us do not jog with Rugers full of hollow points and equipped with laser sights. THAT is the ridiculous part. And seriously, you need a laser sight on your handgun cause you're afraid of snakes? SERIOUSLY? Maybe you should just jog in boots instead. I'm fairly certain even I can outrun a snake, and a hand cannon is just not an appropriate weapon for killing snakes.

I wonder what the cost comparison between that Ruger and, say, a fence might look like.
