This type of weapon is not legal just about any place if the barrel is under 20" and pistol grips are one of those things on Mr. Clintons bad, spelt forbidden list. Snakes are far less of a threat than most folks want to admit. I leave rattlers lying in the woods every yr unmolested- they do a lot of good with rodent control. Educate yourself and live in harmony! They are far more afraid of you than you of them. Given even the slightest advantage of warning they will be long gone before you ever get close. So I'm not totally misunderstood as a tree hugging goreoooophile. I will defend mine and me in the wild or from the trespasser in the back yard who shouldn't be there.
