Made me think about what would happen if I had a gun and I was forced to
shoot it if it had attacked or become more threatening. Need to check
up on the laws about that.


Seems like we went through that just the other day! I think a round in
the ground would be the best
idea, initially. I'd be worried about rabies also, with a wild animal
such as a coyote or fox.

Once you discharge a firearm in a restricted area you are potentially
subject to legal action, so you might as well make it a shot to center
of mass. There's less risk of a ricochet that way and you remove the
threat. If no one hears and reports the shot, your only problem is
disposing of the coyote.
