You need to go with a heavier load for a lawn mower. At least a 9mm, if not a .45.

Why, because of some rednecks in Florida? Get a grip, man.

A firecracker would cause more damage than a .380

I would expect a true redneck to have heavier munitions.

I was thinking at least a .357 magnum. .45 doesn't offer much penetration.

I agree the .357 is the weapon of choice for hunting lawnmowers

My father had two large lawns to mow (not counting the grandparents). When one was done, the other needed mowing. He would ask me to do it on the hottest days of the year. If you did in the morning, the grass was still wet. If you did it in the afternoon, it was like the Black Hole of Calcutta without the smell and the company.

I hate lawns. There is a soft spot in my heart for anybody who shoots a lawn mower, especially a hand mower that vibrates so badly it numbs your hands and your arms. I never used the ride-on lawn-mower because I drive worse than my retarded cousin did on the Go-cart course when we were children.

In short, it is justifiable self-defence to shoot a lawn-mower.

The sound of lawnmowers running in the distance (at a reasonable time of day) is a cheerful sound which says, loudly: THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD GO I.

Past a certain level of income I think it is a moral duty to hire the neighbor's boy to mow the lawn. He seems to LIKE mowing lawns, or at least not to mind. You should not deprive him of his perquisite income and pleasure.

Lawns belong to those who like lawn maintenance. For the rest of us, God made condos and apartments.

The son said Wach pointed the pistol "all over," but the son managed to get the .380 caliber handgun away.

So the guy was trying to hold on loosely?

I have deep south white trash family that now live in FL. When they lived in WI they would throw parties, and I went to one. It ended with their couch on the bon fire and them shooting it with pistols. So yeah, they like to shoot random things.

In all fairness, shooting random things is a lot of fun. And rednecks do know how to enjoy themselves.

RedfordRenegade: This one guy from my town lost his license to several DWI's and his only mode of transportation is a riding lawnmower.

Every day about 10 minutes before the corner bar is to open, I hear him go by. Every night about when the sun goes down, I faintly hear him make the pilgrimage back home.

On the special days, on my way to work in the AM I see his crappy mower all flipped over in the ditch.

God how I want to destroy that mower, he would know it was me though and I have stuff that I don't want stolen, and windows that are best left intact.


Whenever you see it abandon and in the ditch you need to loosen a bolt on the steering vein or add something unpleasant to the gas tank (just a bit). Slowly destroy the engine seals over time and he'll never know it was you.

Apparently, bond's walther ppk is the .32 acp model, not the .380 acp model. If you shoot someone with a .32 and tell them about it; they'll be very mad. You have to hit someone in a vital area (read head, lung, heart) to take them down with a .32.

If you find yourself drunk and wrestling with the cops because you opened fire on your lawnmower, you just might be a redneck.

Yeah, if I wanted to pop a cap in my lawn mower, I'm using nothing smaller than a .357 magnum, maybe even a .44 mag. If it REALLY pissed me off, my .450 Bushmaster.

But then, my mowers behave themselves.

When I'm hunting lawnmowers, I rely on my .300WinMag. I lay down a light scent trail of starting fluid that leads to a stand of unmown grass.
I get his attention by making a faulty starter sound and, when he tracks-in, I let him have it from the safety of my tree stand.
Wounded mowers are unpredictable. You need to get a good first shot and let them flood-out or you can easily be hacked to pieces by a supposedly dead mower.
 
2011-11-28 12:32:36 PM
Back in my day we always just hunted lawnmowers with shotguns, twelve gauge or twenty if you were froggy. These days your typical lawnmower hunter is perched up on a balcony hundreds of yards away pegging them with a 30-06 or .223 if they're an "activist".

Now archery, that's a man's hunter. Archery season is the best time to get good lawnmower hunting in.

big game mower hunting like that is fine and all, but for real sport try inner-city mower hunting. more rare, harder to track. sometimes it becomes a sniper thing, takes days. for me, it's more the hunt than the kill. just knowing i can take out a Cub Cadet or a Toro with the squeeze of a trigger gives me goosebumps.

I usually carry a .45, mainly because they dont make a .46


This thread is reminding me that I need to mow my lawn.

Last time I killed a mower, I used a pickaxe.

A story:
Years ago, my wife wanted a self propelled push mower. We went to Sears, picked out a nice one, and took it home.

I came home from work the next day to find wifey mowing the front lawn. She was sweating and swearing profusely, and told me that this was the worst lawnmower in the world, as it was too hard to push. She had already pushed the thing through a 1/3 acre in the back, and was worn out. I asked her to show me how she operated the mower.

Turned out she was not grabbing the handle which engaged the front drive.

/Yes, she is blonde. Why do you ask?
 
2011-11-28 02:05:50 PM
So what's his Fark handle?
 
2011-11-28 02:07:27 PM
I remember my dad shooting a lawnmower with a shotgun when I was a child. He stated he knew the mower was a lost cause (prior to shotgun inflicted wounds) but kept working on it, thinking he could actually get it to work. So, to prevent himself from future futile efforts, he shot the thing.

My father used a .45 cal.
A weasel was after our chicken and hid under the mower.
