I am with Chris here. Whether or not to carry a gun depends on
many personal and local societal circumstances.
My local gun club also runs weapons classes for women concerned
about self- and home-defense. The weapon of choice is a shotgun;
very effective against human predators, but not for putting down
a horse.
If you have to shoot a horse on a mission, please radio in your
plan, and request (and wait) for permission from Incident Command!
Don't surprise your fellow SAR volunteers or frighten the subject.
Especially consider: what if the subject may be suicidal and the
family is on scene and hears a gunshot?
Please don't even think of carrying euthanasia injection drugs!
That is even more dangerous than a loaded gun, if you ever lose
possession. Consider how you would need to guard against theft.
