    Well, South Range is rather small. If you go there, say, in January through March, you won't see much of anything except snow. I remember one year in particular when there were many fights in town because one neighbor was throwing snow onto the other neighbor's place. When they shoveled snow off the rooftops, they had to throw it up, rather than down and I am not kidding. I was once asked to go see someone and the only way I could find it is that they counted driveways. You could not see some of the houses because the snow was so high. Most just took it in stride knowing it would melt, at least by June.

    I see lots of guns, gun boxes and cases, ammo boxes, a couple of guys in fatigues a girl with a camera, one guy with an air tank and 15 people plus the person taking the photo in 3 pickups. I don't think there is anything nefarious going on and maybe it's just me but I find this odd.

    My neighbor got woke up one night and thought her husband was making a lot of noise coming to bed. She got up and turned the light on and found a bear coming in the window. Had the screen tore. She punched the bear in the nose till it backed out the window.:bug:

    It would be my luck if I tried using a saw for home defense that the darn thing wouldn’t start. Guess I could throw it at them....

    I’ll stick with Mr. Ruger if ever needed (and I hope it isn’t needed for that purpose).

    In Connecticut they would find a reason to charge the homeowner and the invaders would never see a jail cell.

    About the same in Canada. Lookup Colten Boushie (perp) or Gerald Stanley (victim) .
