So, correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes. Florida does have a Python Round-up once a year. They get maybe 70 snakes. :? Because it's designated a park there is no open season. (I think it's to prevent "accidental" killing of native species like alligators and tortoises. What's personally more interesting to me is that even in...

Re: Tactical rifles

I went with a Tegra Arms lower and a Bushmaster 16" A4 upper in 5.56/.223. It cost me around $550 and works fine for my needs. I recommend getting around 10 magazines (Your choice on size. I went with 30 rounders.) and some ammo. You can get decent prices from GunBot. http://www.gunbot.net/ammo...

The snakes are so bad that they are actually keeping the wild rabbit population stagnant! I wouldn't worry about the snakes too much longer though.

The main thing that stops me from wanting the Henry in the lack of a traditional loading gate. I want that gate and the ability to top off the mag tube if needed. 99% chance I won't need it, yet I still want it.
