An old friend of mine wired a bird feeder with 110 to keep squirrels off.
They didn't learn from it.

| But I have a B-B pistol that I use for scaring squirrels off my bird
| feeders. (Being a quiche-eater, I'm careful not to hurt them. I just
| want them to associate stinging pain with my feeders.)
|

| if they discover I have a B-B pistol?

|
| How about a sign that says, "This head is a brain-free zone?"
|
| There may be a good reason to have a gun, but it seems pretty silly
| to claim it is some intrinsic right "that no government can
| legitimately infringe." I don't even think a literal interpretation
| of The Bible would go that far, although such a reading has been
| interpreted to allow you own slaves.
|
| It's pretty easy to adopt absolutist attitudes; it's much more
| difficult to figure out real-world solutions to problems like
| personal security that don't infringe on the rights of others.
