Well, I am a strong snake preservationist and dislike the American lust to kill all serpentine creatures. But I have cheerfully done in an overly persistent rattler on more than one occasion, though never with a firearm. I've just killed them with tools at hand, such as a rock or stick. I have never camped with a firearm, though I do own a rifle. But I see nothing wrong with reducing the population of dangerous snakes.
