He is on the way to the alligator food review. At the last meeting consensus was to avoid OLD meat.

Some of God's creatures...you don't bother them, they won't bother you.

After about 5 feet long, they become dangerous to man. At 10 feet they should be eaten before they eat someone.

Make sure you get an expert marksman with a single shot gun to do it!

Actually, expert hunters DO prefer single-shot rifles. They don't spray their shots around.

Actually, Florida law requires alligator hunters to use a "bang stick"...a 6' stick with a shotgun shell mounted at the end.
One tap on the gator's head in the quarter-size sweet spot.
No rifle involved.

Just because you use a semi-auto doesn't mean you "spray your shots around" either...

Serious question... Do you even own a firearm? Have you ever fored one? Have you taken any defensive training courses?

Can they also be used to maintain "social distancing"?

Photographers are that bad! That's a horrible thing to say! At birth, seems harsh...
