Mackay Sagebrush, Thanks for chiming back!

JJHack, glad to hear from you too!

I believe they wanted the handgun for when they're on the trail riding the horses.

When on the farm they'd mention a shotgun. I maybe able to help them on the shotgun front but not the handgun.

From what the owner told me these coyotes are pretty brazen. They purposely leave the radio on in the barn at night as to fool the coyotes into thinking people are still around.

These coyotes are also seem pretty smart in their raiding of their place. Mostly at night and apparently they get pretty close to the house as they wanted a shotgun which I consider short range weapon.

I never knew coyotes could be such a challenging adversary!
