I've dealt with coyotes and copperheads around our house. For the copperhead, I hit it with a shovel. For the coyotes, we called a dude that trapped them. I'm trying to imagine an animal situation where one would need a gun, and I can't come up with one. For the rabid raccoon, just call animal control, right?
To the animal control question, my mom has outdoor dogs and cats that roam and she didn't have time to wait for animal control to get there. For the coyotes, that may be an option if you don't have chickens or livestock, and it also could become prohibitively expensive to continue to trap the animals.
