Maybe guns are not necessary to solve such problems...

Last line of 'bee-fence': Farmers protect against elephant attacks using beehives
Quote:
A biologist who invented a fence of beehives to reduce clashes between humans
and elephants has been presented with a prestigious award by the United Nations.
Dr Lucy King developed the fence after studying elephants' fear of being stung by bees.
Her invention stops the mighty animals from walking into farm land
because they are so scared of the stinging insects.
The fences were built with one beehive every 10 metres and
the project found that an elephant attempting to enter a farm would
instinctively try to bypass the beehive.
