I am presently dealing w/ this very "fear factor" w/ an aged couple in my church.
They have had "SEVERAL" pranks in the night at their house buy some teens. Drive way reflectors stolen, patio furniture moved out into yard, 4wheeler tracked yard, not rutted & tore up even just visible in the morning dew grass, now mail box vandalized.
He is extreemly poor health. She is not good.
They are both afraid how things may continue to escalate & I am too.
She recently said she would sit in the dark under "that tree over there" w/ my shotgun & shoot out their tires. (me
) They will think twice before scaring old people again."
You cant do that. If you shoot a gun, you have to be able to tell what force you were defending yourself against. (Now you legal eagles remember I really have to translate this into Deep East Texas English for this couple) You cant hide & wait w/ a shotgun for some one to run through your drive way on a 4wheeler.
They have agreed to call the sheriff & give him all the incidents & time frame. I showed her in their bedroom how to get on the floor by the side of the bed (w/ her shotgun now
) & be on the tele to the sheriff.
Now if someone gets in the house you can do what you need to for protection.
That satisfied & they are talking to the sheriff.
