Gotta love the hippies in the PRK, they make good target practice.
Political correctness has gone stark staring bonkers (again) . . .

Careful, if too many bodies wash up downstream the cops will get wise. Ya gotta mix it up a little, make some look like suicides, some professional hits, that sort of thing. Invest in a blaze orange dog vest and a few shooters of Jim Beam and you could create a tragic "hunting accident" scenario.

Careful, this hippie shoots back.
Were not all wusses in the PRK. But come on anyone living in a place called Venice
Last time a possum came into my yard it found out what a 9mm feels like. If it's late at night and you get it in one shot that little 9mm "pop" won't even be noticed.
series of events
1. Possum starts disturbing garbage cans AGAIN!!!!!
2. I chamber round slowly open sliding door (leave house lights off)
3. Possum looks at me and snarles
4. I squeeze trigger, gun goes pop
5. Possum explains to Jesus why it's needed shootin'
6. I wait inside about an hour incase someone heard
7. I put possum corpse in garbage bag in trashcan it was bothering
8. No more possum problems
(works on skunks, racoons, ferril cats, etc.)
Just remember mouse gun, and one shot. IF you miss you must wait til next time because pop pop pop will draw attention.
You have got to be kidding. Fireworks, firecrackers, etc are illegal in just about the entire state. Even sparklers are toted as being anti child baby killers just wanting to burn and disfigure someone. However california does have fire dangers.
Nothing is legal for dealing with that type of thing in Cali. Sure you might get away with something but most likely you committed a crime, even a felony.
Setting off a harmless firecracker? Shooting it when its not in the process of eating you or someone else? This is a nanny state, if you didn't lock your door and call the police then your actions are questionable at best, and likely illegal.
California is one of those places that likes to put so many laws on the books that just about everyone routinely breaks some of them which means everyone is subject to review. When they don't want someone to have rights or be free anymore they just have to decide to enforce a law. Your only free if your free in an acceptable state approved way, man has no natural rights, only those certified, licensed, and documented by California. I mean read above post, he is afraid to kill a nuisance and knows he is committing a criminal act to do it. So he must sneak around as a criminal because according to state law he is one.

fully auto bb guns are california legal.(shocking isn't it) and my last post is pure fiction. I'd never condone crime
A pellet rifle would do the trick, as would keeping you dog inside for a night and a big racoon trap (like the kind used to kill goffers/golfers)
Also a bat would do, but use aluminum, it's more nature friendly, the wood bats used to be trees.

I got the answer.
If Preacherman and Wild Bill Caldwell could see their way clear to export some of those Louisiana 'gators to the Venice Canal area, those folks wouldn't have to be concerned about the racoons or the dogs.

Claymores work well also.
But seriously people, the PRK needs to be drowned (let me jump ship first please)
here is the equation.
Racoon + trashcan = varmint problem /.22LR = no more varmint problem for that night

Yeah,why not just set up a tv outside to entertain the racoons with something rosie "pig" o'donnell on the tube while they're at it?
I know shotguns will work but I don't know about .22's! Y'all haven't seen Baltimore City racoons have ya? One place where I worked at in south Baltimore had a big 'coon problem. There was an entire family livin' in what's best described as an attic. It seemed like they were pregnant all the time and we even caught a racoon pup in an empty trash can. A customer took it home and raised it as a pet. It really liked his wife but couldn't stand men at all! lol This racoon would take food from her hand but would growl at hubby.
We used hav-a-hart traps and caught quite a few which animal control took off our hands. One time we caught a rabid one. Unlike the others which had nice fur (coon skin hats anyone)and would try to hide in a corner of the trap when approached, this one has nasty looking fur,would drool over everything, make snarling noises, and it tried to bite through the trap!
One night we were late leaving the shop and a racoon was rummaging in the back of my buddies pick-up truck. He yelled at the racoon and instead of running away it hopped out of the bed and started coming at us with teeth bared! My buddy(retired Balto-City LEO)pulled out his glock 9mm and put two into the critter but it didn't stop immediately. Two more did it in. He thinks that the first two might not have hit a vital area but none the less those racoons from the city are tough!

I wonder if racoons would be attracted to a saucer full of antifreeze?

I'm thinking a Ruger 22/45 would solve that problem quite nicely.

My parents had a skunk problem in their neighborhood. After hiring some trapper to come out and catch the skunks (at a rate of $75 each), my dad wised up and bought a pellet rifle... He was afraid his .357's noise might alarm the neighbors. Works reasonably well, and the neighbors are none-the-wiser.

That whole Venice Beach area is kinda funky-trashy. You have multi-million dollar beach homes literally a few blocks away from crack slums.
The Canals themselves do not have a lot of current to them and are pretty nasty. When I was working in the area I could not see a good reason to live in that neighborhood.
So this racoon thing is hi-larious. Mostly the people that live there are lefty-loonies. I know this because the reason I was in the neighborhood for a few nights was to go door-to-door fundraising for GreenPeace and I raised A LOT of money from those folks. So to see them now, menaced by racoons; to have nature doing it's thing up close and personal and nasty at them instead of at a far remove makes me smile.
There is not place to "shovel" but there are big trash bins in nearby alleys. There would be no way to track who threw away any given beastie. Unless the Animal control people have a CCSI (Critter Crime Scene Investigation) unit anyone who pops and drops a racoon will be free and clear.

seven? My german shorthairs had no interest in antifreeze,,, BUT it is a cumulative poison, and has to have long term exposure to work. I think that is an ineffective response.
My local farm store has a live catch trap (Have-a hart), at fifty bucks or so, that would be adequate. set it, catch what comes first. Take cell phone, and call local PD from the vicinity of Mayor's house. If they respond, your problem is solved,,,, If they do not, your problem is still solved, release critter, and the mayor will make local pd, or animal control deal with it
My personal response is a high velocity .22 LR from my ruger 10/22, and go back to bed. IF Leo wakes me,,, I was sleeping, and heard nothing. If there is trash in my yard the next morning, I can deal with it, or make the county deal with it.
IF/WHEN anything like this ever happens,,, just consider the fact of the cost of prosecution, and the value of silence

rocky came home to roost
Not Lennon/McCartney
Now somewhere in the black canals of California
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon
And one day his woman ran off with canine
made young Rocky whine Rocky didn't like that
He said I'm gonna get that dog
So one day he walked into town
Booked himself a room in the local bed and breafast
Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
Only to find the anarchist bible
Rocky had come equipped with a BB gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival
that doggy it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the Procyon lotor of his fancy
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Vulpes vulpes
Now she and her man who called himself Mephitis mephitis
Were in the next room at the hoe down
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
He said Mephitis mephitis this is a showdown
But Mephitis mephitis was hot, he drew first and shot
And Rocky collapsed in the corner

Sigh... A lot of CA-bashing here.
Of course you cant go outside and start capping off rounds.. Venice is a urban area. Im pretty sure the law about discharging firearms within city limits in "free" states is similar to the laws in CA. Are residents of Dallas allowed to go outside and shoot at pesky animals? within the city limits.. How about in Atlanta, Charlotte, or Memphis?

Once again, I must take the other side
I live just minutes from this area. I know the problem well. The problem is not the raccoons, its the irresponsible hippie dog owners.
This area is 'well-to-do' as is said. However, by no means is it a nice area. The streets and allies are PILED with trash. The smell of rotting food and urine will stick to your sinuses for days after a visit. The people are also a bunch of tree huggers. They let their dogs roam free at night (let 'Kia' sow his wild roots! he needs no leash!). Blocks away from these houses are the jetties (by the marina del rey harbor). This is a natural attraction for the raccoons. Lots of fish pieces left by fisherman. These dogs pack up at night, and often attack people. Never heard of a coon attacking a person out there.
Again, I live nearby. We have a few raccoons that frequent my house too. They are very tame. When I have left my back door open late at night, the coons, a pair of possums, and even a skunk who lives nearby, often roam into my back door. They will beg for food. NEVER aggressive.These are not the wild animals you country folk are used to. These animals are very accustomed to humans. They don't so much as hiss at me. Now, if an untrained, loose dog attacks some coon, I think that coon has every right to bite fido back.
These people have too many coons because they refuse to pick up their garbage (they do have a lot, compared to the 3-4 per block as in my area). It is truly that bad. The bad parts of Baltimore look better than Venice Beach neighborhoods, its awful.
Now, I have nothing wrong with local people 'controlling' the population (I'd much rather have it done with 22's than the normal 'humane poisoning' that is done in these parts), but dont get on the coons for protecting his find from a vicious, un-tethered dog. If any can tell me of story of a coon busting into someones yard, and attacking their well-mannered dog, they get a reward.

.22LR+subsonic ammunition+racoons=Winter hats for the family. She could probably blast em with any gun she wanted, people would just assume it was another gang shooting. Good thing the PRK has such effective gun laws.

canned wildlife
the rich folks on the canals want virtual wildlife...always amazed me to see weekend hippies in Venice walking the pet pythons and exotic parrots and other strange creatures that would attract attention to their owners.(dame...you can't be called a "pet owner"..you are a "guardian"...raise you hand if you think im kidding!)
so if uninvited wildlife happens to those "homeowners" on the canals they get upset..they paid big bucks to live there...they should be able to control the environment in all its aspects..
los angeles "animal control" got its paws slapped a while ago...for killing unwanted animals...and one of the top guys had animal rights groups camped on his front lawn for quite a while...not sure if he quite and moved but he gave up...and the policy on animals changed..unofficially & officially...
recently in santa monica .. next door to venice..the city wanted to get rid of squirrels that were a nuisance and disease carriers...PETA to the rescue...
the film "joes apartment" may become a documentry soon
