I keep one of those 1000 FPS air guns loaded around the house for any animal that is about to be a nuisance. May not kill whatever I'm shooting at but I figure a head shot will slow it down. So far I've only used it on an injured squirrel but there is a raccoon that comes out around 8:30ish in the evening when it rains.

I doubt anyone would notice a .22 short though.

have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings
