I've been fishing for over 30 years and never once has a rabid coyote or a rattlesnake tried to get me while in my boat.
I don't see the need to kill rattlesnakes, but if you do, that's your business. I'm curious how a 9 foot snake managed to bite your brother. I've had several encounters with rattlesnakes over the years and none ended with a bite. All I did was back up when I heard his rattle. It was a bit freaky, but I never felt the need to kill the snake.

What worries the snot out of me is that parading the gun out seemed to be the first logical step to solve the dispute. One cut line and one held boat....BAM out comes the piece.

No shit..
Some of the rivers out here can be crowded and sometimes tempers do flare, but the thought of bringing a gun into the equation is plain scary to me.

What's scary is that somebody will now try to limit MY ability to carry a handgun while fishing, and I didn't even do anything wrong!

Thankfully, besides being unnecessary, carrying handguns is not legal here.
