30 years ago Florida put gators on the endangered list, and now they breed like rabbits. We lost two joggers, and three kids camping to these rouge monsters. But, today the bigger fear is giant pythons.
There is a park that butts up to the Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, and it's almost as feared as the Bermuda Triangle. Joggers need a small carry weapon, and the Rohrbaugh fits the bill.

What would a .9mm do to one of these beauties other than make them angry, assuming you could shoot over your shoulder on a dead run?
-
I would opt for a AR15 for one of those.
That's a monster snake.
-
Looks like he'd make a bunch of holsters & belts. ;D
-
What a snake! :o
-
That snake could swallow those six skinny Burmans in a single pass without a hiccup.
-
Those aren't Burmans, there the Florida joggers. ;D ;D
-
Welcome to Americaaaa......
Yeah, they should ban those snakes from killing joggers, what kind of laws those folks have down there to protect it's citizens?
Ban those snakes, that will stop the attacks.
As far as protection, I'd want to jog in the Everglades inside maybe an Abrams tank.

;D ;D
The eye is upon us! ;D

Along that line, check out this 2006 photograph posted by "flyandscuba":

That was some wicked snake! :o

Now that's a bad looking thing! :o
-
How would you like to stumble upon that while jogging. Looks like something from a movie!
-
Don't think I would like that! Don't mind snakes as long as I can see them! ;D
-
You cannot miss those. :o
-
I hope not. Don't want to be surprised by one of those!
-
Only if you have your PUP on hand.
-
Would need something bigger than the Pup! ;D
-
Assault rifle or grenade launcher would do the trick.
If you had a flame thrower, you would also have a three course meal.
-
I think the assault rifle would do the job; don't need to make it too difficult. ;)
-
I'll take my Mossy 500 with a mix of 00 & slugs, that will render the big guy inoperative. ;D ;D
-
Sounds like you are prepared. ;D
-
I'd probably take the 500 mag. :)
-
Now that would do the job! ;D
-
I struck a deal with the giant pythons and sharks: they don't come into town and I don't frequent their habitat.
-
That seems reasonable enough. ;D
-
I would have to agree.
-
Just a half? :D
-
That's auto correct on the iPad.
Sorry. I should have looked prior to posting. :P
-
No problem. The keys are small; and I understand. :)
-
The keys are sized OK.
I was in a hurry and the auto correct kicked in.
No XQZS! ;D
-
It happens! :)

I used to make underwater powerheads for shark protection. Now the only kill shot is a top down 12 guage on top of the head. A 12 guage to the body just makes them flinch.
I did a lot of snake hunting in the everglades, and I always stayed on the road with a double barrel. These were 6 ft water mocassins. Now as to a 300 pound python, I prefer my fat friend between me and that snake.
-
Yet another reason to arm up, even when out for my morning runs.
-
You don't have to out run the giant python, only your fat friend. Always good to walk with a fat friend in the everglades.

Indeed...but my larger friends are pretty good shots...I'd might not make it very far....
