Well, I really don't think anything would change his views. What sucks is that you can't shoot them. There was no way that I was going to lose my license by shooting it. I'll spare you the details but it didn't suffer long at all after I had the opportunity. When I was a young teen, I had a friend put one out with a knife. What a wrong move. It threw him off like a rag doll not to mention he could have really stuck himself.
