You wouldn't fire all 30 rounds(Or how many your magazines hold, and how many magazines you have on hand

) at it just to make sure?
Yep, I have 30 round magazines and would only fire until it was good and dead....mmmm....maybe 10 rounds to make sure....

Would you really shoot it? Naaaa, it looks to me to be only 10 - 12 ' long.
To protect the neighborhood children or my family, yes in a heartbeat. The article said it was over 4 meters or 13'+.....

I guess I'll take the voice of the minority here and say 'damn shame'. I personally like snakes quite a bit - they're beautiful and fascinating predators. The python was just doing what pythons do. The electric fence did its job of course but its still a sad end.

I normally wouldn't have a problem with snakes. I've seen a Burmese Python up close and even held it. That little fellow was 10' and was extremely beautiful. It's when they are big enough to swallow children that I get a bit nervous. ;)
