Not a good idea. http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/dec/08/florida-police-chase-burglary-suspect-eaten-by-alligator
I saw this article a few days ago. Looks like Darwinism at work. The aligator took care of the situation so the tax payers and the legal system didn't have to. Still, being eaten by a 12 ft aligator is a terrible way to go.
Very effective! I want an open carry permit so I can take my alligator with me when grocery shopping.
