        Affirmative.

        A rifle is too bulky and loud to bring in a stall/shoot at point blank.

          This is so confusing because; handguns are just as loud, rodent control is best dealt with an air powered gun, and unless you’re going out to specifically do that task you wouldn’t be bringing your tool.

            Shooting a horse or a cow not rodents.

            I don’t understand the last part.

              I don’t think you know many farmers. They are not shooting their animals. Slaughterhouses do that part and they usually drown or use the pneumatic bolt made famous in No Country for Old Men.

          You mean like putting an animal out of its misery? Well the proper way to do that would be to call a vet, but if you wanted to shoot it, a rifle would not necessarily be too bulky

            That’s been my only experience with hand guns

            Also because you mentioned vet but I don’t think they do it here. Vets can be licensed for a hand gun in the UK for such an occasion. - Source I helped a friend study.
