A Louisiana woman who owns a .22 rifle used it to defend herself against a two-legged snake. When someone came to her door, she thought it was the deliveryman with the package she was expecting. Instead, she found a man who started talking “like a stalker”—saying he had been watching her home and such. As he droned on, his hands wandered between his legs, where he began touching himself through his pants. That was lewd enough to make the woman grab her rifle and shoot. He bolted as the bullet struck the ground at his feet. (wbrz.com, Baton Rouge, La., 8/9/18)
