(6,151 posts)I live in a remote corner of MidWestern RedNeckLand where probably half the men play soldier in the woods. (No telling what else they play, but that's a subject for another day.) I hope they fall out and shoot each other before they get around to visiting me, which they've promised to my face they will do someday. When the Repugs took the House in '12, a pickup load of militia stopped on the street outside my house, honking and hooting and waving their pistols and rifles. I went out smiling, waved, and took their picture. They peeled rubber and haven't been back. But they're still out there.
They didn't know the camera doesn't work. But they know my extended double barrel Colt does. I really hate needing to keep a gun, but it's the only thing those nuts respect, especially with a woman alone.
