I don't carry anything but water and my phone. I didn't know you could easily get a snake bite kit and antivenum is very expensive like in the 10's of thousands no?
Most people get but because they don't see the snake before they step on it..so a gun won't help much in that regard.
Same thing with the mountain lions.
No, the gun is to shoot your own leg off before the snake venom gets completely into your circulatory system and spreads through your body, leaving you to die a slow, painful death all alone...
Seriously though, I got bit by an Eastern Diamondback and it was a 'dry' bite. No venom. Apparently, that is actually more common than one would expect. Still hurt like a mofo, but I was lucky.
