Florida Joggers Fear Giant Pythons
« on: March 13, 2011, 10:03:04 PM »
30 years ago Florida put gators on the endangered list, and now they breed like rabbits. We lost two joggers, and three kids camping to these rouge monsters. But, today the bigger fear is giant pythons.

There is a park that butts up to the Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, and it's almost as feared as the Bermuda Triangle. Joggers need a small carry weapon, and the Rohrbaugh fits the bill.

What would a .9mm do to one of these beauties other than make them angry, assuming you could shoot over your shoulder on a dead run?

I would opt for a AR15 for one of those.

That's a monster snake.

That snake could swallow those six skinny Burmans in a single pass without a hiccup.

Welcome to Americaaaa......


Yeah, they should ban those snakes from killing joggers, what kind of laws those folks have down there to protect it's citizens?
Ban those snakes, that will stop the attacks.


As far as protection, I'd want to jog in the Everglades inside maybe an Abrams tank.

Don't think I would like that!  Don't mind snakes as long as I can see them!    ;D
