Ok, I couldn't resist saying that...

Obviously, I do hope his wife is ok. Rattlesnakes in AZ and NM frequently enter homes... Ask Kali about that. Keep one's ax handy.

but when it comes to to protection from rattlesnakes and other wild animals I am willing to make an exception. My father shot a few rattlesnakes near our home when I was young.

Definitely don't want to ruin the floor surface with a gun blast. It's also kinder to the neighbors that live close so they won't hear the noise.
