We're on acreage out here in ranch country - our house is about 600' from the main gate. Shortly after we bought our place, we had just finished breakfast and heard a loud knock at the door.Ericstac wrote: I live on a lot of land and if someone was dumb enough to try this stunt they would have lead chasing them for a good couple hundred yards..
Holy cow! For a moment I was almost stunned, looked out the glass on the door and saw this guy standing there. He looked like the typical good ol' boy out here so I opened the door to find he was my neighbor to the east. He jumped the fence and walked to the house because he didn't have our phone number. This was before we had handguns, if that would happen now, I would have had our SR40 ready to go behind my back with dear wife backing me up.
Being out here where the neighbors are few and far between, having the handguns always available (mine is always on my hip) is very comforting
