That's always something that's seemed funny to me......what's the point in making keeping anything illegal when you're allowed to have guns?The petshop owner down the road from me has various rattlers and a few vipers on display......(not for sale though -you still need a license in Britain). Also thought that was your beard.........
Yeah, guns are quite a common aspect of life here in the Souhtern U.S. We have had a reptile show here in Birmingham Alabama every month since 1996. A guy there sold a 13 year old boy a Copperhead after the show at his place ( we weren't allowed to sell venomous snakes at the show, but you could advertise with business cards and meet afterwards). Long story made short; Boy gets bitten, mom freaks out, mom calls cops, cops raid vendors house. It tookseveral days to track down the guy, and he had heard about the kid being bitten and fled to California. The cops found a metal building on his property with tons of snakes and empty aquariums. Some still had labels on them, and one read Bitis gabonica, or more lovingly known as the Gaboon viper. They had no idea if this snake was an escapee or a previous specimen. September 2000, no venomous snakes to possessed in Alabama. But, you can still buy SK's, AK's and an assortment of other high powered assault weapons that can quickly take out your entire block in quick, short order!!!!!
