Today I ran into this old guy (three years younger than I am) who was buying his first gun. He said he wasn't really a gun person, but he'd run out of solutions to the rat problem in his garage. When I asked him what kind of gun he was buying, he said it was a revolver in .17 HMR. It got me to thinking, is .17 HMR too much gun for shooting rats inside his garage? It might be hard on the building, I was thinking. Maybe not. But you have to see rats to kill them with a gun. He said when he first noticed this problem, he could go in the garage and see rats all over. Now, he thinks they know he's coming and they hide before he gets there. I know, sounds strange but I'm sure he was all there. But the .17 HMR won't be effective without targets.
When asked, the man couldn't tell me what brand the gun was but it came from Italy and had a seven inch barrel. ?
