I consider my first firearm to have been my Daisy BB Rifle. Killed plenty of birds and leaves with it.

Ox, I think you might be thinking of cottonmouth. Copperheads are usually found in a "dryer" envirionment, like hardwood forest. Have a friend that was bitten by a copperhead. Wasn't life threatening, but he knew he was bit by a venomous snake. Also throw in another vote for the great Red Ryder.
