The thing people need to remember about raccoons is the little *******s
don't back down. Just one of them was entirely prepared to go through me to
get to the cat food on our back porch (and I ain't exactly petite), so I can
see five of them being able to take someone to the ground. I was going to
whomp it with a shovel (figuring the Mossberg would just have aroused
law-enforcement interest) but my wife got it to go away by squirting it with
a water pistol--apparently getting wet was more objectionable than fighting
something ten times its size. Dames, always spoiling the fun.

So... what you're saying is you wouldn't shoot it but the wife would?
Dayum, you got a keeper!
