Meanwhile, Over with the Heirs of the Western Reserve Pioneers...

Squirrel traps family in their home [Read]
But lest we be too harsh in our assessment of the timid Strongsvilleans:
Except as provided in subsections (c) and (d) hereof, no person shall discharge any air gun, rifle, shotgun, revolver, pistol or other firearm, or make use of any sling or arrow, within the corporate limits of the Municipality.
Nah, go ahead and be judgmental. Section (c)'s got 'em covered. Unless they'd rather be ruled by rodents.

None of you people have a Crossman...?

We had a squirrel in our toilet when I was a kid.

My Sis was getting ready for bed. Suddenly, there was a bloodcurdling scream from the bathroom.

We ran in and she was pointing at the toidy.

Lo and behold, there was a mostly drowned squirrel, sloshing away.

Result, my Brother got it out and took it to the backyard where he dispatched it with an old 22 Mossberg rifle.

Done.

And, this was well in the city limits of Indianapolis, but decades ago.

Where we are, we've gotten a couple of rats and coons. This, on the neareastside near the hooker/drug havens.

When help is needed immediately, animal control is only minutes away -s-.

I might don some gloves or use a net first. Squirrels can carry rabies, after all.

But seriously, a /squirrel/?
