This reminds me of the Arkham Horror board game and my favorite character: the farmhand. His backstory is that he sees a weird animal out in the field killing the cows. Instead of suffering sanity damage like most characters he just figures: well can't have animals hurting the cows, so he grabs his shotgun and kills it.
Pretty sure there's a character who does this in a Lovecraft story as well, couple of guys from the Miskatonic University go to deal with an abomination after it's brother gets mauled by the University guard dog anyways one of them just brings a really big gun.
That is the most American answer ever to a problem. Just bring a big gun.
Now I'm reminded of my favorite quote from the Dresden Files:
Harry: You’re in America now. Our idea of diplomacy is showing up with a gun in one hand and a sandwich in the other and asking which you’d prefer.
Luccio: Did you bring a sandwich?
Harry: Who do I look like, Kissinger?
