Not only do we have gun laws, dropbears are endangered megafauna, so you can't shot them anyway.

I love all the youtube responses to the video with folk saying the think its fake. lol!

That video is hilarious.

Years ago my wife and stayed on a farm for a week. During our visit a bus load of US school kids arrived for a few days stay. Well the farm staff had a little fun with them. I accompanied the farm staff on a night trip with the kids (wouldn't be able to do that nowadays, but I digress). On the way back a number of the kids where sitting in the back of a large trailer being slowly towed behind a troopie. Earlier that evening the farm manager had given the kids a talk about hoop snakes, dropbears, yowies and the like so the kids where a bit worked up. On the way back from the evening trip the farm manager stopped the troopie under a large gum tree and leaned out of the window yelling...dropbears...dropbears...whilst wildly waving a torch at the big tree. Needless to say that there were a number screams and a fair bit of panic amongst the kids. After a minute or two he got out and admitted that there are no dropbears and that they were in no danger, thankfully the kids and their teachers could see the funny side of it and all had a good laugh. Apparently the farm manager did his dropbear attack party trick with every visiting group.

Michael.
