this is the gun-shine state....
i'm earnestly surprised that no one started extra-judicially shooting them when they get close to civilization because of the "spate" of attacks that have occured in the last month or so.

Hubby tells me that gators can run faster than people even with those little stubby legs. But gators don't corner well so the only way to escape them is to make turns.
Whats the deal with gators lately? They have been picking adults off left and right. I understand that is not normal.

They're shooting bears here in New Jersey because of encroachment on Suburbia. Seems a State Trooper was real proud of removing the menace to society after emtying seven rounds from a shotgun into the offending pic-a-nic basket stealer.

Well, I'm down here in Orlando, and we're having the same issues. The bitch of it is that this state recently passed SB436/Castle Doctrine legislation http://www.nraila.org/CurrentLegisla...d.aspx?ID=1392 which "Removes the 'duty to retreat' in the face of attack" when it comes to a dangerous assailant. However, it's a FELONY to kill a gator, punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
Let's see..... Bad bart shows up and threatens me or my family with a reasonable "fear for my/their" life and I can put a .45 hollow point between his eyes. But if my 3 year-old is playing in our yard and a wild gator comes in and want's to eat her, I have to call animal control, because if I shoot him, I'm going to prison.
WTF!?! Anyone else see the fundamental issue at hand here?

Thats a stunning and insightful conclusion, given that the victims arms were found in the gator's body...

More animal rights activists than criminal advocates? In good old KS, you can put a hole in anything that poses a threat to your family. A while back two men with prior issues got into it, one of them came to the other's trailer and started threatening him. He was quickly shut up when he was shot with a shotgun through the front door. No charges filed.
