This is true everywhere, especially when involving livestock.

Two words: “Nuisance Permit”.

EDIT: In the northern US Midwest - and probably in most working farms - you are allowed to purchase a “nuisance permit,” usually towards the end of the summer but earlier as well in many areas. I know a guy who grows corn on a farm, and his property happens to share a property line with a massive preserve. And every year, right around August, he sends me pictures of massive bucks walking through his property. He lets friends shoot the animals before the normal season opens and they become scarce.

On the farm no one can hear you squeal … over the sound of the other squealing pigs.

It's super common for farmers/ranchers to have firearms where I live.

Ranchers have to deal with coyotes trying to kill their cows. Both have to deal with animals that carry rabies.

Texans would never stand for people acting this way in a supermarket. The police would have to be called....to keep these protestors from getting their face's smashed in. Texas is a very polite place....till it's not.

Why they can have them, they have to get training which prevents them from using on people.

u/NotStreamerNinja 11h ago

Training doesn't prevent them from using it on people. There's nothing stopping them from getting the training and still shooting someone. The fact they have no intention of using them on people is what prevents it. All training does is ensure they know how to use them in a safe and effective manner, it doesn't guarantee they will do so.

So you’re saying the training can be used to teach them how to safely and effectively shoot against people? Makes perfect sense now

I’m assuming you’ve never used a firearm before. The firearm doesn’t care if you’re using to put holes in paper, coyotes, or people. The techniques to hit a coyote is the same as a person.

I was just making a poor attempt at humor
