What caliber for mice?
Can you say overkill? Everyone was very lucky not to be killed or more seriously injured. As strange as this story is, I love the last line in the article.

Even after going through her knee I find it difficult to believe that a 44 mag bullet would "bounce off" of a key ring. Not to mention the whole going off when it hit the floor...

Re: What caliber for mice?
I call shenanigans on this one. I think they conjured up the mouse excuse to cover up what they were really doing. Which, if I had to guess, was fighting with eachother.

I'm sure this is why my wife makes me do the varmint killin'. I'm less prone to cause a newsworthy moment.

Re: What caliber for mice?
I think that's the key...The Article wrote:The 43-year-old woman pulled out her .44-caliber Magnum revolver after she saw the mice scurrying across the floor of her trailer on Highway 20 in Potter Valley, sheriff's officials said.

FWIW, IIRC, AFAIK, FTMP, IANAL. YMMV.

As an answer for the title of this thread. . . a .44 cal mag should be fine.

+1 on the shenanigans.What was their BAC?
I think we can reasonably suspect that whatever they were drinking, snorting, smoking, injecting or otherwise ingesting wasn't good for them - because they clearly weren't thinking.
