Good lord, an aggressive snake is so easy to deal with. Just take a fishing rod with 8-10 lb test line and make a slip knot in the end of it leaving a loop large enough to fit over the snake's head. You can easily snare them with this (or any reptile for that matter)since snakes just don't pay any attention to the fishing line. Then just dump him in a bag cut off the line and take him off somewhere and release him. All the drama with the gun stuff is overkill.
