that is wrong to shoot the snake and to have a kid unsupervised with a gun. I shoot guns and i can say that .22s are pretty easy to handle and a six foot sanke would maybe not be as hard as you think(not that i would ever do it or have ownany to)but if you were to aim at its head and shoot the body will probly be whre the head was therfore casuing you to hit it. But that is just waht i am thinking. I think the fact taht she shoot the snake is wrong, get a darn target!!!! or a sshaken up soda can!!!!!! who in there right mind would hand a 10 year old a gun and tell them to go have fun!?!?!!?!?!?

FWIW, my mother was hunting food for her family at age 6 with a gun, and nobody thought twice about that at the time. If the girl is keenly aware of gun safety and inclined to follow it closely, then I think the bigger problem here is the promotion of the (possibly illegal) destruction of wildlife. I would definitely at least write a letter, and possibly try to set up an educational opportunity at a school, library, or other good public place.

Whats wrong with a 10 year old shooting a gun ?
Sounds like a church full a city folk:roll: :P :lol:
Ya`ll are assumeing she was alone at the time this happened .
Why cant people put as much effort into minding their own buisness as they do sticking their nose in other peoples ?
Voiceing opinions is one thing,but pursueing things that do not directly affect your life can be better spent.The snake is dead,the child is a hero and life in their world is grand.
Wonder what their take is on a few computer geeks that love and care for snakes is ?
Ya`ll dont run over each other finding out :wink:
