[THEFERMANATOR]

A 22 long rifle doesn't have enough power behind it so it skips like a rock off of water. Larger calibers disintegrate on impact because of how fast they are going. I didn't hit the kid when I found out how old he was. The mom wanted to call the cops and I told her to. The kid wouldn't look me in the eyes so you could tell he was lying about shooting at the gator, and yes it's a big time felony down here to shoot at a gator(I've got an uncle that can tell you all about that one, 20 years probation over it). I talked to the property owner this morning and got things sorted out. I thought I was pretty calm in the situation all things considered, but of course the wife thought I was insane in how I handled it.
