Snakes as weapons!

I mean, sure, I've seriously weighed the benefits of using Mr. Nibbles as home defense, especially whenever I read about the latest spate of home invasions... unfortunately, it turns out the bad guys have already had similar ideas about robbing people at snakepoint:

Though bad guys will use just about anything. Apparently frozen squirrels also make effective weapons:

I call BS....Nobody but drug dealers and druggies takes light night strolls in Camden!!!!

I have a stable of inland taipans that I milk for their venom.

I then apply it to darts for my blowgun. I use it for hunting sasquatches up in the boundary waters.

I could see this being true. The general population has such a fear of snakes that they don't know which ones are actually dangerous and which ones are harmless.

Right, that's why I was thinking it could be true. And some large number of people don't even care if it the snake is harmless, they have a phobia, and they'll do practically anything to make it go away.

...snakepoint..HA, thank you sir for making my night!
