I can only imagine the issues it would cause to dispatch said varmet with a Joe Biden recommended 12 gage from your porch, or a nice black bushmaster with a 30 round magazine.. [OMG.. the horror]. On the other hand.. he might make a lot of "new friends" in prison..
Get some veggies and a trap.. then call for disposal... If you saw one.. there are others not far away..
