Laws aren't preventative measures. In other words, more laws won't prevent gun crime from happening.

Thanks Yoder, just what we needed down here.

Have posted this before in other fora, but it's my explanation to relatives how rural we are. The gate to "my backyard" , three sides of our property are BLM land, square miles of it for me to roam, the gate is a 50 yard walk from my driveway:

[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]

My house is at the near edge of the yellow grass in the valley below, picture taken from close to the top of the nearest ridge in the "gate" pic:

[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]

This "neighbor" in my woodpile is no longer with us. A year or so after this pic was taken, he found out about a 12g load of #6 as he wouldn't leave the chicken yard fence one night. I'd have preferred he was smart enough to avoid that, as they are hell on the ground squirrels and gophers I hate, but I can't have one digging under the chicken fence.

We're not as rural as some, only 15 miles from town.

Actually, my nearest neighbor on the other side of the road, 200 yards or so?, has a special needs kid and they order stuff al the time. And it's 2020 so everybody out here does the "Amazon" thing because we are so far from everything. 'Town" is 2800 folks, whole county has something like 2 or 3 per square mile, 2 hours from the nearest big town, 3 hours to a Costco. So the FedEx/UPS folks come out this way every day or so.

We got lucky when we found this place, on a county maintained paved road so it gets plowed if more than a couple of inches of snow. We're the only house on this side of our 2.5 mile long road, my neighbor who holds the grzing allotment is a cool guy. If one has to live rural, other than being in Kommiefornia, this ain't so bad!

Yeah...........you seem to be a bit more.rural than us.

Town's maybe 250 people........it's a half mile across the valley. Next door neighbor is roughly 350 yards down over the hill. He's an Amishman, so it stays fairly quiet in the valley. 2 churches and the P.O. is all that's over in town. But, yet, we're 30 mi from 3 different Walmarts...... It's not a day trip like some places I've been. The big city is only an hour's drive.....
