Son, you clearly never been close to a rattlesnake. If you was, you’d want to have your gun on ya.

No, i’ve been far from one!

I’m sure there’s an instance where one can find themselves close enough to be bitten but lucky enough that the snake hasn’t made the decision yet - a gun could be useful there.

Most of the time, though, a person is either far enough away that they can leave the snake in peace or already bitten.
