Well that is what I thought but wanted to confirm. Thank you all!!! I keep telling my SIL that he needs to start carrying but he doesn't for some reason. I would at least feel better if I did especially on hikes. Last time we ran into a rattler. If I was carrying I would have shot the vile thing.
You might want to carry a shovel, to cut the snake's head off--shooting inside city limits can be expensive in terms of jail time & losing your right to own a gun
In that case a good revolver in a serious caliber would be a good idea, first two rounds snake shot. Actually, this is the ONLY logical reason for one of those weird Taurus Judge or SW Governor .410 revolvers. If you can afford it, a cross draw rig with your snake gun, (A Davis 38Spl derringer with snake shot will do, not ideal by far, but it will do), and standard CCW in the usual place.
Pay attention to the type of rattlesnake of the 20+ species in AZ some are protected (you go to jail for shooting) two have both neurotoxin and hemotoxin,(one is ranked the 10th most deadly in the world). Like carrying a firearm, bad decisions will cost you. One below is ranked 10th most deadly.If I was carrying I would have shot the vile thing.
