So, here's my senerio.
We live on a farm in the middle of nowhere Bennett.

Mrs. is in the garage, looks out the window and see's a guy walking in our ditch,
smoking a cigarette (its dry/windy/99 degrees...obvious he ain't too bright)

He now turns and walks down our driveway, towards the house. She bugs inside and calls the cops.

Now the guy rings the doorbell...she doesnt answer the door (like I told her!)
Then, he moves down the front porch, and is peeking into the 2 windows....and walks away.

I'm on the phone with her right after he rang the doorbell.
I asked her, "Get my gun!!"...her reply...."I got the ugly bitch"
Cops stopped the guy (10 minutes later) down the road. Story he told was "I was looking for work
and selling smokes"...Again, we are in the middle of nowhere....in 10 years, the bell has rang less than 10 times.

The kicker is, she grew up with NO firearm exposure= she was scared to death of my Daisy Red Ryder for years.
Slowly, I taught her to understand/learn about them. Just 2 weeks ago, I/her spent 200rds. through the "ugly Bitch"
and she was hooked!

My point is, make sure YOUR loved ones know/respect and can use them to protect life & home, when you're not there.
You never know when shit will hit the fan.......
